    I like the photographer standing in the middle of the road about to be run over by a bus 🙂

      Yes, that’s commitment for you. Anything to try and bag that all-important shot!

    Clearly the photographer and the little boy are the only ones who see where the real action is taking place!

      It was at this festival, so to be fair, they had plenty to stare at…

    Awesome photo. What was the festival and where was it? I love how there are so many festivals throughout the year in Japan. My favourite is the Sapporo Beer festival in the summer.

      Cheers. It’s the Kanamara festival in Kawasaki. There’s a link in my comment above. It’s quite an event!
