Daily Photo: What are YOU looking at?

I was very surprised, and scared, to see this photo fullscreen back at home on my 24″ Dell!  I don’t know what shot I was trying to get.  For sure I would never have snapped a shot of such a scaring looking ojisan (middle-aged Japanese man) looking directly at my lens.  I wouldn’t take such a shot of anyone, I’m still rather a shy photographer and I only have 300mm of zoom, so I can’t hide completely out on the streets of Shinjuku.

I can only guess that he wasn’t looking at me at the time I was composing the shot.  He stood out because of his jimbe and his stern look and nice camera, a Canon I believe, so I might have wanted to of gotten a shot of him.  I hope he doesn’t see this and track me down!  If you are reading this, sorry, I didn’t mean any offense, I just respected your badass look!

Most certainly, not all ojisans at this festival were so scary looking, why, just look at this ojisan’s smile for example!
