Hey John, I like these. As I said before, I think you show a good visual awareness and eye for composition. <a href="http://kenshukan.net/john/archives/ayainkitasenju.jpg" >This one</a> has a nice Winogrand feel to it. I'm gonna go and look at some of your other sets now.

i enjoyed looking at these, too. some nice ones in there. btw, is "golden week" when they have a forced (paid) time off for a week? sounds golden to me.

Golden week is a week that has three national holidays in it. At least thats what I was told. . . I am a teacher at a jr high and we had last Friday off, as well as Sat. and Sun. But then we had school on monday, no school Wed. through Thursday- and back to school today (Friday). So maybe this is sort of a "silver" week- had we not had school on Monday and Today, that would be a truly golden week. But I was able to get out and shoot some film so no complaints from me.

By the way, thanks for the comments. I think most of these were shot with my Nikon F3. I go between that and a leica M6 but for all the talk of Rangefinder vs. SLR I don't see a real difference when you look at the photos. The leica is a bit quieter, and I will use that when I am in around folks I don't know.

John: Do you have any suggestions for street photography in Japan?
