Young Japanese woman in a dirty Tokyo alley

When working in a seedy part of the city, it would appear that cigarette breaks aren’t necessarily much of an escape. Or at least that’s certainly the case in this passageway, as the smoker below is the second young woman I’ve photographed there. The first, should you have a similar soft spot for such squalor, can be seen here.

    I know she’s smoking, but it’s hardly getting out for some fresh air is it? And WHAT is that liquid!!?

      Who knows, it does have something of a yellow-ish tint, doesn’t it? But what I do know is that despite being stood in a potentially guilty area, it had nothing at all to do with me!

    Another great shot of Japan’s underbelly 🙂 How desperate can you be for a smoke if you’re willing to sit down on a keg in such a dump?

      Cheers! Not the nicest of spots, is it? To be fair though, there aren’t exactly a lot of good alternatives nearby…
