銀座で歩いているお坊さん also joining the bustle of Ginza on weekends is a Buddhist monk, asking for donations. often, monks will walk toe-to-toe down a sidewalk, chanting softly and ringing a bell every few paces-- sometimes it's only through watching their stride that i realize how fast everyone else moves

Beautiful...but it could have been gorgeous. Take your time.

@chris chisu: yeah... it's odd. the more that i consider the relationship of the background objects to the monk, the more that i want to retake the shot. hmmm. maybe a monk-stalking i shall go...
A very inspired capture this one! Bravo!

great shot. you did a good job of capturing what you describe in your explanation -- the contrast of the speeds of the monk and everyone else.

I like many of your photos. I think this one is especially nice at conveying the hustle and bustle of the place as contrasted to the deliberate pace of the monk.

Great! I like how the movement flows around the monk. Very cool!

I like how the monk's hat pops out of the frame among the busy city street.
