I don't usually photograph people, as most of you already know. But sometimes I see a "human interest" shot I feel a need to take. This guy was in what I would call an 'alley' but a lot of Japanese streets look sort of like alleys. He's doing his job. He's a traveling knife sharpener! He hardly noticed me. This was taken with the telephoto on the kit lens at 100mm so I'm quite some distance away. I didn't even know what he was doing when I took the picture. I just liked all the detail with the cart and his determined look as he's sharpening away.
According to the sign on his scooter, He's Ida Tadao the knife sharpener.
