Getting Ready to Cross The Road Over by Hirotoshi TakanoGetting Ready to Cross The Road Over by Hirotoshi Takano
As my regular routine, on this shooting day, I went to Shibuya Center Street in Shibuya, Tokyo. At the near end of crosswalk just before getting to the street, I noticed the guy tieing his shoe lace in a hurry. Thought he's a very attractive motif, though, I wondered if I should shoot from his front side or not. Then I chose to shoot him from his back side, as there would be an empty space of people in front of him in the moment of traffic light was turning to red.

Grown up in a rural area in Japan, Tokyo has been always the place of fantasy. From this perspective, street shooting in Tokyo is not about capturing personal daily lives but about the moment of seeing what others do. The others are, yet, only can be captured through my biased eyes, and the eyes always miss something subtle but interesting. Then got cameras, to capture something more outside of viewfinder.
