I'm thinking of heading to the richest area of the city, Ginza, for the next series to get the most contrast. I’ll try to make this a weekly series.

I like this series. It's a little bit creepy, but the authenticity of faces unaware of your photography evens it out. So good. As you may remember, I like to watch. I like this series.

I thought I was just being chicken by hesitating to take candid street photographs, but it seems most people are as hesitant or more than I am to do so. I think to take these kinds of shots it's key to stay in the exact same spot for awhile, preferably with your back right up against something. I was leaning against an entrance to the stairs to an underground mall for most of these. Then as you stay in that spot you'll feel more comfortable and eventually bolder. It helps to use as a lot of zoom as well to put distance between you and the subject. I recommend at least a 200mm lens (on a crop format DSLR, so it's effectively 300mm). Thanks Lee.
