Two young brothers who, with their toy cameras, inquisitive nature and impeccable technique, are surely the cutest photographers in Japan — possibly even the world.
The cutest young photographers in the whole of Japan?
Photographs from a small group of islands
winnie says
Yes, they are so cute!!
One of them trying to take a picture of you? 🙂
Lee says
Yes, we were both playing at the same game!
john says
Awesome! Without a decent viewfinder it’s all just too miki mouse!
Lee says
Yes, it certainly is!
Matt says
You’re probably on his blog right now. I like the little guy with his one eye covered by his hood.
Lee says
Haha, quite possibly! Yeah, he’s quite a character.
JMichael says
Nope, those guys are fans of the super sentai show “Go-Busters”.
Lee says
Ah, I was totally unaware of that. A quick search brought me up to date though. You do indeed learn something new everyday.
Jade says
Omg they are so cute, look at the badass in the hoodie 😀
Lee says
Haha, I’m sure he’d be very happy to be called a badass!
john says
We’ve been hoodwinked! ..although they equally may have thought they had met another “Go-Busters” fan
rather than a photographer :o)
Lee says
I know! I’m sure they thought my Go-Buster camera wasn’t a patch on theirs.
Lizzy says
So adorable!!
Lee says
Yes, they really were!
Magnus369 says
One of the rare times I see someone looking happy to have you take their picture- and it’s a great shot at that!
Lee says
Cheers. And yes, that’s very true!

the first thing i think of when i see something like that is how talented those two are going to be when they grow up. when they are that young, playing with toy cameras (and pretty fancy and maybe expensive looking ones, in terms of toys), i can only imagine the interest that will continue in their lives as they get older. perhaps one or more of their parents are photographers, and the boys, enamorred with their partents’ toys, asked for models of their own. perhaps it will pass and these simply are toys for these young gentlemen, but i wouldn’t be suprised to see your photo used for the bio on the back page of their very own book of photographs in twenty or thirty years.
great photo, and great story; i’m glad i check your blog so often.
Lee says
Thank you very much.
They certainly have the curiosity, no doubt at all about that. No fear of a strange looking foreigner either. Traits they’ll hopefully maintain.
