harajuku girl and photographers

Posted by timothy sullivan (Tokyo, Japan) on 24 November 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture.

so i ended up getting a little behind in writing comments for photos... sorry about that! i ended up posting a number of images from harajuku this week; i hope that you enjoy them!

one of the neat things about seeing the different cosplay (costume-wearers) people in harajuku is how foreign tourists can't take enough photos! it's really odd: many tourists will be wearing awkward grins (like grandparents reacting to nipple piercings) but forget their mixed emotions long enough to snap a few dozen photos.

i will be posting a few photos in the future on their reactions-- i try to take photos of people taking photos. it's weird. but i find it so interesting that people give me faces with such contempt and bitterness when they find my lens following them-- even though they feel it completely fine to follow around these cosplay people.
