- One of the primary differences we noticed about the Japanese was
their concern about others. A simple
- example is this picture taken at a very crowded street market.
Once I set up my camera on the tripod,
- nobody would walk in front of it and the entire area almost cleared.
Concerned that I was in fact
- inconveniencing them, I would look the other way or talk to my son,
to signal that I was not
- taking a picture at that moment. No good, the camera was up
and they were not going
- to walk in front of it until it was down!
