This is probably one of my absolute favourite photographs, it is taken in Harajuku, Tokyo. It was a momentary snap shot, and the involuntary portaitee arrived more by chance than by design. The layering, the ambivalence of the intended motive (is it one or three portraits?), the accentuation of her face...
Harajuku is one of the places in Tokyo that is an absolute must-see. It is where the famous teens meet in their outfits to be beheld and photographed, but also, and more importantly, it is a fantastic place to watch the Japanese youth culture in their own environment. Also, not to be forgotten, a great piece of urbanism and architecture!
