I went for a quick walk as I had a few minutes to kill before starting a call while driving home…

Today’s Configuration: Leica M9 with a Noctilux 50mm f/0.95.

Masked man…

My people’s village…

This is yummy…but I think they mean ‘Welcome Back’…

I love how there are random sunflowers everywhere in Tokyo…

I am so glad I don’t play video games… I can only image how obsessive I would be.

I love how Tokyo is enforcing ‘No Smoking’ now…

Caught…

Indian Robot…

Yodobashi

I love this sign…cute and sad at the same time…some cute kid lost his monkey and has a ‘Wanted’ post up for it…   Someone gave me a great idea…

…I am leaving this note from the monkey for him letting him know that I can’t come back right now but my friend came to stay with him.

I can’t wait to put this there tomorrow.  I hope he comes to the park and finds it.

    David, you have a compassionate, kind and sensitive nature. Wouldn’t it be great to capture on film that little boy seeing that ‘new’ monkey for the first time? God bless…

    That’s so cute! I’m sure he will love it. I actually made a sock monkey last week.

    Dave, this is such an amazingly kind gesture! I hope the little kid finds it! I also wish you could be there to see his face then and take a picture, would definitely be the biggest smile ever! Thank you!

    That’s some good Karma you’re doing there Dave. Hopefully it will be returned in the future.

    Keep up with the Shinjuku snapshots. That place is just a photographer’s heaven.
