a lot of the people in Japan wears black and grey, I like this pic cos at least it has more colour variance.

Thank you for sharing your photos. There are very nicely taken.

I will be heading to Kyoto and Tokyo myself this Sunday evening and will be at this two cities for 9 days. Looking forward to shooting some street photos and will try to get some good ones like yours.

Thanks, you will definitely love it there. The lights are beautiful... winter, the sunrays are softer, looks great on pics. Enjoy Nipon!

Pic 33:

more law enforcers. Election is coming in Japan, and on this particular night, there was a politician giving his speech.
Lots of supporters gathered to listen to him. I pretended to take photo of the people and the politician when actually I
was trying to get the portrait of the police officer standing in front of me. He adjusted his body awkwardly (while feet rooted to the ground),
thinking he was blocking my view. Was just too funny the moment. May not seemed like it.. but to me, it see. Wish there's a video to show how
he was trying to slant his body away. But his face shows it, he was not pleased a camera in front of him.

Pic 34:

A little more on demonstration, a lot of police around the area, they were really concerned about the demonstration (something to do with
racism) but thankfully it went on peacefully.

Hi there,

Just want to say that your pictures are really inspiring; it really makes me want to go grab my camera and shoot! While I do agree that street photos look good in black and white, I have to say that the colours in your pictures gives them their personality.

very nice shots, i felt like i was reading a photo documentary. I like how the shots seemed like they were taken upfront and close to the people but yet they seem oblivious to the camera. Great skills!

Thanks Fulgaralis, that's a huge compliment, being able to inspire another to shoot. I know that how I felt whenever I saw some good pics, the photographer's itch, so thank you once again.

Thanks trd2970! Personally I really love photojournalism, that's why I chose street photography as my genre.

Thanks thegamer1907. Some shots I was really close to the people, like I mentioned, I don't crop much (just odd edges out) and I uses 35mm lens so I get really close to them. One thing is the camera I uses, not to advertise, Sony RX1R, I don't have a viewfinder, so I shoot at chest level and most ppl thought of it as point n shoot camera and its less intimidating I guess. A lot of them doesn't mind being captured in photos, some do, most don't. Some as shown, even posed for me.

On my way to Magome - Tsumago trail. Saw this old couple with such beautiful backdrop.

Pic 38:

When I was walking in Ueno Park (Tokyo), saw someone with a huge curly hair that caught my attention,
as I walked closer, I saw TWO curly haired heads.
