Street Photography in Tokyo




This photograph is one of the first I took during a business trip to Tokyo. I was waiting for the "Limosine Bus" to take me from Narita airport to the hotel.
A few months before this was taken, I started carrying my photography gear around with me on my business travel. One never knows when there will be an opportunity for a shoot.
In this case, I simply took out the camera at the airport and looked around. I love finding people that interest me in some way and capture something true about them. I don't usually ask for permission before I take the picture, but often propose to send a copy after I have taken the shot. Catching the moment in which I am detected is always interesting. I am very curious about how people react to the camera. In this case, I didn't feel it would be a good idea to strike up a conversation.. We both went about our own business.
