Bike Parking and Public Sleeping

One of my colleagues recently moved to Japan.  He also writes a blog and I have enjoyed watching him become fascinated with a lot of the things that I was initially fascinated me when I first moved to Japan.  I remember the first time I encountered a vending machine with the options; Yes, No, Bunny.  It seemed odd, strange and confusing.   Now I am suspicious if I don’t see a cute little character.    Can this machine be trusted?   He also writes on a lot of business topics so I thought I would share.

For me it is a nice reminder of some of the things I have started to not notice anymore.

Make sure to check out his blog.

Bunny

I got an email from a reader and he shared a link to his blog.   I get send a lot of links to look at but I really like David’s site.  Interestingly in his mail he said we could not be more different shooters which I tend to agree.   The same goes for our sites.  I hate sites with music and typically click away right away but for some reason his just works for me.  He shoots all film.  Make sure to check out ‘Now, See This…

Now see this

Gambaru Japan.   This guy is funny.

And another on ‘public sleeping’…   Well this was more like ‘public intoxication’.   It was 7AM and he was passed out cold.

あさ7じですよ! すごいよっぱらちゃいました。。。

Public Sleeping

This guy standing and sleeping in place.  I have seen other photos of this guy so I think he is a bit ‘famous’…

The police didn’t seem to notice or care about this guy…

Thanks Wing! Getting that separation is one of my favorite things to do lately.

The shot of the two girls standing in the crosswalk is amazing! Subject separation is beautiful, and the colours are very nice too. Was that shot with your 50/0.95?

I have been shooting ‘public sleepers’ in Tokyo on my iphone on and off for a couple of years now, Shibuya is by far my favourite place to capture them!
Really looking forward to seeing the photo walk pics, and still gutted I couldn’t make it along. I did manage to join a different walk yesterday though in London with a Tokyo London group.

The color is really vibrant. Are all these from your M9-P?
