Japan Images: Saturday on Takeshita

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

A typical Saturday morning along the insanely crowded Takeshita-dori (竹下通り) in Harajuku, Tokyo.

While it’s has been done to death, I always enjoy this particular view as I remember the cameraman in the top left hand corner trying several times to climb on the back of his friend to get a photo, only to be knocked off by the endless crowd of shoppers.

He eventually got his shot and we both walked away happy. ^_^

It was a busy Sunday afternoon on Jingu Bridge in Harajuku, Tokyo. This girl kept herself fairly separate from the others and spent a countless amount of time carefully preening every inch of herself. She looked stunning with the ginger hair against her fair complexion.

Somethings are worth doing again, and again. Nice photo… I can just imagine a whole flock of cameramen atop shoulders struggling in the tidal flow of people – each trying to find that tasty photo.
