Waiting for the next fare: Shibuya, Tokyo
One of the shots that was in my spread for Auto Salon magazine in Australia, and which got then sold to mags in Poland and Singapore.
You can see a bunch more at NipponNews, the agency I shoot for in Tokyo.

Thanks all.
Aloalosabine: you are very kind. It has become a bit of a speciality :-)
Mr Mongo: that's expensive! I paid half that for mine, reconditioned by Nikon. Sure we can find you a better example for way less money. Shipping it from here would be cheaper. Shaky hands? With the amount of light in some parts of Tokyo - like this one - the 1.4 allows me to shoot at between 400 and 500 ASA at between 100 and 250th of a second. That's one of the reaons for having that large aperture: can use it handheld, can still get people without them being blurry etc etc.
