Japan’s economy may well be shrinking at its fastest rate since records began, but Tokyo’s rich Ginza region still obliviously boasts serious numbers of shoppers burdened with huge bags nearly bursting with big name brands.
And yet that said, for some it would seem, the simple pleasure of a book is way better than any bag could ever be.
And then some.

I love your photos,please keep them comin. Why don’t we see men reading books on pavements in the U.K?
Lee says
Cheers John. I’ll certainly do my best.
Know what you mean too. Can’t recall seeing such a scene back home.
Toby says
I really really like your photos!
they have this certain tranquility and just a clean style, please keept it up!
just one question: which lens do you use and which camera model?
i´m really interested in photography and this would be good to know n_n
may i try a guess? canon 10-22mm and some 400 or 450 Digital?
hope to see more soon!
Lee says
Thanks Toby, glad you like them.
Camera wise I use a Nikon D300, and whilst I have a few lenses, this one (and the vast majority of my street shots to be honest) were taken with the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4. An expensive, but lovely piece of kit.
Jonathan says
Definitely one of my favourite time outs to date Lee!
Lee says
One of mine too. It was a genuinely tranquil looking scene.
