Unconditional Surrender

I rarely take photos of people, but this guy was so committed to his role and having such a blast doing it that I couldn't help trying to capture his performance.

 

When I first saw him he was shouting in Japanese, apparently trying to surrender, since he had a white flag in one hand and a bottle of booze in the other.

 

He looks miserable here, but he would break character and explain his role, while laughing and smiling.

 

There were some kids watching who seemed genuinely concerned about what would happen to him once the Americans had him in custody.
