[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In spite of the Alley's commercial nature, sometimes those visiting there made friends. I learned, that this fellow, like many I served with in Japan, has gone to the next life [if there is one!].

It makes me pause to think those lovely bar girls are now wrinkled "oba-sans". I wonder what tales they tell their grandchildren. When I see these pictures of mine that I post, it magically takes me back to my youth and I see myself as young and vibrant, not wrinkled and twisted from arthritis and the other physical blessings of growing old. Well, at least I'm alive and photographing more than ever and so I will till I can't push the shutter release

Wonderful shot! Right timing, nice blur, perfect her face and pose. But all that is really natural, so the magic is, again, the right timing.
It reminds me to another great shot which I critiqued few days ago: Conversation, give alook to that.
