The girl's look, the tile pavement, the bicycle, the plants and the colors.. all captured really well together for a feeling I can't explain with words

I love those colors! I don't often shoot these kinds of colors any more. This is a super old photo. My favorite detail is the cigarette butts on the ground.

So fabulous! And I thought that Irish girls are bold when it comes to fashion...

Tokyo fashion is often kind of conformist, but the people who try to stand out really do blow away the conformity! BTW, you are in Ireland but are you Polish? Dzięki za komentarz!

A owszem, nie każdy emigruje do jakiejś tam Japonii, niektórzy do Irlandii jak te owieczki/baranki Proszę bardzo.

Irlandia też jest fajna, nie? Tak na prawdę, emigrowałem to stanów i dopiero po studiach do Japonii. Wcześniej czy później oblecę świat z powrotem do Polski.

Nie no, fajna, fajna, aż się wracać do PL nie chce Ale nie mówię, że nigdy, po prostu chyba nie w tej dziesięciolatce. Na studia wyemigrowałam zaledwie do Torunia, więc jeszcze sporo kilometrów przede mną do nadgonienia.

Najlepiej jest podróżować po świecie. Na studiach też bylem w Japonii krótki czas ale teraz że jestem kompletnie na swoim (praca, mieszkanie i tak dalej) to naprawdę nie sensu wracać. Nie koniecznie zostanę w Japonii, ale jest jeszcze Korea, Hong Kong, Australia, Europa...

To chyba zależy od osoby, niektórzy lubią zapuszczać korzenie - ale ja się do takich osób nie zaliczam, więc... ahoj, przygodo! Tylko paszport kotu trzeba wyrobić

Thank you very much! You have no idea how much your comment (as well as all the other ones) motivate. I've been mulling over the idea of a street fashion blog for a while and finally got it up and running today. It's just a matter of going out on my next day off and getting some shots, though likely not candid like this one, but in a similar vein. Thanks!

I have been fascinated by the people and fashion in Shinjuku for a while now, I love the composition in this shot. The girl is framed really well, and you gotta love the Ferrari bike.

That bike is a very fortunate accident in this shot! I'm pretty interested in street fashion as well and I decided to start a fashion blog. Going out on Wednesday to get some shots for it. We'll see how receptive people are to getting their photo taken in a fashion style. Once the blog is fleshed out I will post a link on here. Cheers.

I gotta say, its tougher than I thought. A lot of people turned me down, so I guess there will be more candid shots. But I honestly didn't stay out long as I felt kinda sick, and anyway it's just a Wednesday. Sunday should be a different story. Anyway, got the blog going and will be updating it as I get through editing the photos. Check it out: [link]

Thanks! I need to find time to take some more shots this week but I'm busier than a 1 legged man in an ass kicking contest.

Hurray for saturation! Who says street needs to be b&w

YES! I love black and white photos and sometimes shoot in BW as well, but I find color to be a bit underutilized in street photography, at least in the stuff that get's acclaim. (This is just my opinion, others might feel differently.) Anyway, thanks!

Mmm no arguements here.
Most of my street is b&w, but it's always refreshing to see some color every now and again

Wow thank you very much! I love 2046 and the cinematography in that movie (colors included) has left a lasting impression on me even thought I've seen it 5 years ago! Thanks!
