Photographer’s Note

a couple of "gaijin" (foreign) girls hanging out in Yoyogi park in Tokyo. More and more foreigners are getting into the habit of dressing up like the locals do on Sundays...when in Rome.

Very cool shot... love the light/ colouring etc etc etc... oh yeah, I like the main focus on the girl in the foreground with a second person blurred in the back :-)

I can't wait to experience Yoyogi Koen this Sunday... the people will be fascinating :-) (heading to Tokyo to meet my sister... her first trip to Japan... can you imagine her culture shock!).

Thanks, as always, Dan for the interesting and great photos...

hello Damon,
this is really good and I don't understand why you haven't recieved more points for this. Nicely composed and sharp with nice skin tones. Interesting from a culture/fashion angle too. I like it especially as it reminds me of a street photography book of Japanese kids dressed up in some wierd and wonderful outfits. Have you seen this book? It's called Fruits (don't ask me why!?) by Shoichi Aoki and published by Phaidon. See if you can get hold of it, you will enjoy it.
