Blind Fashion Japan Self Portrait

I’m always on the lookout for interesting opportunities for self portraits. This was shot through a wooden shudder or door with some sort of mirror behind it.

Biker Portrait Japan

This isn’t the sharpest picture in the world, but it was interesting how I took it. I was sitting in my car with my 70-200mm which probably looked like I had a gun or something. This guy was coming pretty much right at me. I shot the photograph in rapid fire through the windshield as he was coming towards me. You can see his eyes have met my lens and the bent lip is priceless. I wish it was a tad bit more in sharp, but it was a very quick photo. I’m sure he was wondering what I was doing. Funny.

Incense Man

This is a Japanese gentleman picking out some incense sticks to burn and toss into the metal pot behind him. ( not picture ). The blue sticker on his cap means he belongs to a tour group. He is also sporting the big glasses which are common for this generation. The younger kids have the small thin designer type glasses generally. Gave this photograph a shot of retro. The color just wasn’t doing it for me because of the smoke screen. Black and white was good, but I think I like this look the best. I also left a little grain in the photo for effect as well.
