It is definitely not the kind of light that Audrey Hepburn is usually lit up in, but at the same time, it’s arguably a much more interesting sight because of it.

Tokyo Times is owned and run by me, Lee Chapman, a long-term resident of Tokyo who arrived in 1998 for ‘a year or two’, and, for a myriad of reasons, stayed put.
Japan means many things to many people, but Tokyo Times is how I see it. The places. The people. The day-to-day situations. All of it shot using a Leica, a Nikon and a selection of lenses.
My photographs have appeared in the Guardian and Japan Times, plus numerous magazines and books. Should you wish to use any, or simply ask a question, you can get in touch with me here.

Good one!
Cheers!
That’s quite a find!
Yeah, one of those great occasions when I though I’d just have a quick look what was round the corner, and there it was. Perfect timing with the light too.
Your own washing machine Lee? ^^
Haha! I’m happy to say that my washing machine is a tad more modern, and in marginally better shape!
Excellent, did you have to wait long for the light just to hit the poster? I find that I normally have to stumble upon finds like this and do not anticipate how it could be and wait until it becomes perfect
Thanks!
I’m exactly the same. I don’t have the patience to hang about for too long either. But with this I stumbled upon it just as the light was as it is in the photo. Very lucky. One of those rare days when everything came together perfectly.
Excellent shot, Lee! I love the contrast across the image, makes it very ‘stage like’.
Cheers, Don. It was a very lucky find. Made my day.
Great shot!!
I love this picture!
Thank you!
very nice shot !
Thanks a lot!
If you hadn’t let us know this was taken by chance, I’d totally have said it was a planned shot. Amazing shot!
Cheers! Even if I had planned to, I probably would have failed. The window of opportunity was so narrow that stumbling upon it was the only way for it to happen.
WOW!
Thanks!
Seconding kidd, wow! Nice catch.
Cheers, Jeffrey! A lovely moment when everything came together.
