In Japan, the homeless are ignored so no one seemed to notice him. I felt bad that I was just moving with the crowd and didn't stop and offer him something but to interact with him would have brought unwanted attention to him and may have made him feel worse. |

. Not for all forums. But it is a reality that deserves to be shown, to me of course.

| Pentaxian | I seriously can't remember what I've posted already. I have to come up with some kind of a system. Just to prove that not all the women in Japan are good looking, and to engage in a bit of photographic irony, I offer up this photo of a woman who works at a high-end cosmetics boutique:  Click on the image to view it in a larger size Pentax K20D Super Takumar 85/1.9 |

| Site Supporter | My dog seems to be my subject of choice for trying out new lenses. My AF confirm told me the focus was on her eyes but it seems to be more on her nose. So this is why I take shots of my dog I guess. So I can learn how to compensate. SMC Takumar 400/5.6 with no. II extention tube and flash. This one came with a healthy case of fungal infestation. A brilliant cleaning job was done by Erick Hendrickson.  |

Posts: 86 | @Mike Cash: that "50" limitation refers to miles/hour (as opposed to km/hour)? I guess they don't use the metric system in Japan, right? The tones in your photo reminded me of this: [Pentax ME Super, Takumar 50/4 Macro, Ilford 3200]  |
