The red scooter is the Japan mail service. These guys drive their scooters like crazy as if they are always in a race to the finish line. The only other scooter riders that can compete with these guys are the Pizza delivery guys. Both are quite nuts when it comes to how they drive on the road. You really have to be careful. Here these two look like they are dragging, but it’s actually me getting a last second shot. In a perfect world, the car would be gone, but it was either something or nothing. I actually like the shot in an interesting sort of way.

Although it’s very difficult to get this look on purpose, my intention was to have a still background while the subject was in motion. Sometimes I can do this and the subject looks clear enough to keep it’s identity. I didn’t think this photo is too hard on the eyes. The suject is a Japanese mail carrier with the signature red bike and mailbox on the back.
