Mitsui-san

Sometimes you are not searching for a photographic moment and it just comes to you. One hour ago (14:34 in Japan), I was seating inside the lab, taking a look through the catalog of photos, I had already selected a photo and was about to post it when this kind man entered the lab. He came to change a filter, just to do his job. He finished the task and was about to leave but he turned back and asked me where am I from; that question made possible a short and pleasant conversation. Before leaving I asked him if I could take a photo of him and he kindly agreed, the thing is that the camera's battery was charging, the compact flash card out of the camera, all a mess and I didn't want to take much of his time; luckily I could take everything fast, set up the camera and shoot, this is the first photo I shot of him and my favorite of three. After shooting the photos I asked him his name, this kind man is called Mitsui-san, but you already knew the name because of the title. Thank you very much Mitsui-san, I hope you can see this photo and that you like it!

I wish all of you to have a beautiful and fantastic month, full of inspiring moments, enjoy every moment of it!
