Japan's Oldest Brand

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 7 January 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

As I was on my way to the station I decided to take a walk around the park, in order to freshen up in the morning before going to the University. As my stroll evolved I found this broken bottle of Sapporo Beer, in a state of suspended animation, trying to resemble the surrounding grounds.
I wonder what's the story behind this scene, please let me know what you think, =)

I wish you to have a beautiful and fantastic week, God Bless You!

The mysterious being was held captive...
Its powers grew stronger every day and when the right moment arrived it shed the skin of an old self and broke free towards the world of a myriad of colors.
Have a super week, Alfredo!

What I like as much as the potential story is the muted browns -- the leaf, the stones, the bottle -- a kind of study in only one color like a Whistler.

First thing that came into my mind, broken dreams, shattered lives. But that's too tragic... however, I can't think of anything else! But the pic in itself is wonderful! Love the tones, the sharpness and edginess of it, and the overall concept.

If I saw this in America, I would think teenagers. But, in Japan this had to have been an accident. Possibly from some businessman trying to find his way home after a late night of partying. Right or wrong, that is my guess. Great shot!!!

Hmmmm. This is what i think, that was the last Sapporo beer in the store, and 2 people where battling for it... but unfortunately for both, the beer got loose in a fierceful battle of rock, paper, scissors (hahaha), and it went all way to the ground (No Hiro Nakamura or Peter Petrelli there to avoid that)
