This guy was making candid photos of couples in parks in Tokyo at night.

It seems they may or may not have seen him, and any case they were sometimes photographing each other.

It's an interesting article and there is a link to a gallery of his photos.

Dull in so many ways.

Different. I wonder if he ever felt endangered from his subjects?

The group participation is ... interesting.

Definately a good and interesting read. I quite enjoyed the reference to the U.S. Senator who got caught trying to illicit sex in a public place and was then fired/resigned from his job.

Saw these a while back on the Yossi Milo website. Sort of Weegee meets Arbus meets Clark in the swingin' seventies.

Not my cup of tea, but an interesting documentary, definitely worth seeing, thanks for the link.

I read about his work in the latest Aperture, and it's... interesting, I suppose.
