Ginza gangster?

Okay, so admittedly it’s pretty unlikely that this old fella participates in organised crime for a living, but while impatiently waiting for his wife to finish shopping, he arguably did have the demeanour of someone who does.

      Thankfully he looked like that before I took the photo. That’s what drew me to him.

      He was actually. He caught my eye after I took the photo and gave me a big smile.

      Thanks! Poor fella seemed to have been waiting a good while. Not his ideal day out that’s for sure.

      It was that expression that drew me in, and thankfully he didn’t change it until after I took the photo. Then the smile after totally transformed him. He went from a nasty looking old fella to a lovely one in the blink of an eye.
