Love and Lights

Posted by Darren (Tokyo, Japan) on 19 November 2006 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

This photo was taken after work one day near the local theme park. I met 2 young Japanese College students and asked them to pose for a photo, I also asked them to hold hands. This photo is my first posting to start my photo blog and I hope it also started something between the 2 who posed for the photo. Their first comment after taking the photo was we are not a couple you know.

@Michael Zhang: Yeah, I didn't really notice until after I took the photo but it does give it a good touch.

Wonderful image. As to your last two sentences... A similar thing happened to me and a girl I was hanging around with over 17 years ago. Some guy insisted we were a couple and pushed us together. We've been married for the past 15...

@Damon Schreiber: Well if these 2 end up getting married maybe they will ask me to be the photographer at their wedding. Fingers crossed.

@deano: I couldn't resist, had to get a photo with some people in and at the time I took this photo there weren't too many people walking around. I figure no need to be shy.
