Random girl found of the street that would pose (with assistance from friends)

He started it. I’m only following.

Connections to title…

This created by Peter Saville reminded me of this (wrong song for cover art…still…) which is where I stole the title from.

Looking for a way to escape, he looks back only to discover the best possible route blocked.

No eye contact, head down, no speaking with anyone. 8.3 million people in this town (source – probably more now) and my version of Tokyo seems like an endless stream of the same.

See this kind of thing every day. Hard to photograph at this angle though.

It’s so easy to go to sleep on the train in Tokyo.

Daytime photography. Something I really don’t do much of in Tokyo. Tokyo by day is ugly. Real ugly. Ugly enough to have to shoot in black and white. So, being a night shooter I’ve always got my camera loaded with 1600 asa (iso to you post film people). During the day this means f/16 and hope like hell the shutter speed is fast enough. The magic thing about f/16 is no focus! Which is why I can point the camera behind me, hope like hell and take the shot.

I think the strap adds a level of genuineness to the picture
