Young Schoolgirl Returning Home in Tokyo

Trey Ratcliff and the Beyond 6th Crew

Justin Arthur invited me downtown to be on the Beyond 6th podcast

Beyond 6th Podcast

The crew at a local podcast here in Austin called “Beyond 6th” invited me down a few weeks ago to sit in. It was a laid back discussion… cool people — happy to know them! It was strange because they had me read the “intro” — it was unexpected but I did my best! hehe… Click on the link there to have a listen.

Young Schoolgirl Returning Home in Tokyo

One thing I recommend to travelers as they go from point A to point B in an unpredictable manner. Whenever I want to hit an exact location, I tell the taxi to drop me off a few kilometers from the destination. Either that, or I exit the subway early. I then meander my way from street to street and feel my way to the final location. Usually, by taking these unpredictable paths, I end up seeing a lot of things that would have been left unseen.

That is how I found this little schoolgirl in Tokyo. I ended up on a busy street in the late afternoon, just as kids were running back to their homes.

    Cute little girl and nice capture Trey – love her uniform! Alot of these kids you’ve taken photos of in Asia seem to always wear these different uniforms – seems unusual to me. Cool podcast – you did great – tell them I said ‘nice name’ for the podcast!

    Nice shot Trey… I like the different intensity of reds on the various subjects, excellent!
    As for the wee girl, it looks like she’s had a bad day at the office, completely stressed out… either that or she’s got the world smallest mobile phone pressed to her ear ;-)

    Wow – I LOVE this shot Trey. The angle’s great, and the colours. I particularly like the depth of field and the almost-bokeh of the shop signs in the background. P

    Travel in unpredictable ways – right out of the CIA training. She looks like she has something on her mind.

    Great photo, Trey. I agree with what Simon posted. She looks a wee bit unhappy. Thanks for sharing. I don’t have any of the things necessary to listen to the podcast :-( . But it looks like you were having fun!! Have a wonderful weekend!!

    Reminds me of my days in Okinawa. These children in their uniforms seem so photogenic.

    Holy **** this is the best shot I’ve seen in months, my favourite I’ve seen on your site! The editing is well balanced, the frame is perfect, subject is awesome and IQ is as usual great!
