Photographer’s Note
And an other shot from Harajuku, this girl was attracting my attention because of her classic pose. I figured that because her clothes are black and white a conversion to B&W could maybe make this photo stronger. Will see if you agree.
At least when I saw her standing there I had to think about a poem from Mr. Edgar Allen Poe.
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
From: A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe.

The Harajuku fashion style girls still interesting... :D
Maybe in October I back there to catch my point of view of the girls again.
Nice shot and association with the poem.
Regards,
Jaed.

Hi Hans,
A great contrasty black and white portrait of this girl. Nice point of view from slightly below. Love the outfit.

Hi, Hans.
I think the B&W was a good choice, the effect is nice. I especially like her expression, a real daydreamer.
Regards.
Sergio.
I'll be back
