Daily Photo: Ojisan Reflects Upon Shinjuku
September 8, 2008 · Print This Article
As I was walking to Bic Camera this afternoon in Shinjuku (to buy a lens cleaning kit), I saw this ojisan (middle-aged Japanese male) staring down Otakibashi Dori (I live on this street actually). I thought it was unusual to see an ojisan with his hands on his hips like that. A rather unnatural pose I thought. I wondered what he was thinking. In my mind I felt he was wondering what the hell has become of Shinjuku, and that he was trying hard to remember what it was like when he was a boy. I wish he could show me a photo of the same view taken from his childhood.
EQUIPMENT USED:
- Nikon D80
- Nikkor 50mm 1.8D lens
He’s prob’ly lost.

If so, then I should have offered to help him as I’d wager I have to be one of the most knowledgeable non-Japanese about where things are in Shinjuku.
