Here is a Japanese Construction worker atop a large temple roof looking to repair some of the tiles. I really wanted to get this guys face, but he just wouldn’t look over at me. I thought about whistling, but I didn’t know how to do that…laugh. So I did the best I could. I still like the shot considering it was a beautiful day and such.

This is a typical construction worker in Japan. Here he is working on replacing the special tiles on a Japanese temple. These plates are give that special design we’ve all seen on temples, castles, and houses. The plates come in little bundles and carefully each one is placed on the roof. You may also notice the gentelman is wearing tabi boots, a baggy uniform, and helmet. Most construction workers have what I think are pretty cool uniforms or work clothes. It’s all part of the "love thy job" attitude most Japanese have. It’s fantastic!
