I love how you positioned him looking off-frame to the right. I think this is usually a flaw in most photos and causes undesired tension, but in this example it really enhances the deep-thought aspect of your subject. If he'd been looking to the left, this would have been lost, methinks. And speaking of memories, as a former Kyoto resident (from '92 - '96 I lived in Kitayama and later near Shijo-Omiya) your collection is a treat . Thanks for posting them.

I proposed to my wife 50 years ago on a day just like this right where that big hulking American is standing with his oversized camera. If I just wait here for a second, I bet he will move along...Why isn't he moving?" I bet that man was thinking something like, “Ah, the memories.
