Scooter girl bokeh extravaganza, Tokyo, Japan
This pretty lady was sitting at the traffic lights so I went over and asked her: ”すみませんしゃしんをとてもいですか？”Or, “Do you mind if I take your photo?”
“Not at all”, she said….

This is one of my all time favourite pics.
But Alfie, I have got to make this correction: ”すみません、しゃしんをとってもいいですか。”
There were a couple of characters missing.
I seriously hope your show went well. I wish I was still in Japan to have seen it.

Thanks for the Japanese lesson, Stephen. Much appreciated! I am still getting my head around hiragana….. :-)
Show went well. Thanks mate.

I knew I had seen the shot somewhere before. Yep, on flickr. Still think its the best shot I have seen in a long, long time, her expression, the lighting, the bokeh. jealous me – of course I am.
Great shot.
