This photograph was taken during my trip to mainland Japan. One night we decided to go and eat at a place called the "Chicken Shack". Outside of the restaurant, my friend and I noticed these cut-out figures and decided "Why Not". As you can see, we were meant to be "Samurai" in the market place. It was fun and we thought it would be funny to send this photo back home to friends and family. Here's the really funny part, my friend is really tall in person (taller than me; I'm 5' 11''). However, in the photo, she is the short samurai.
This assignment gave me the opportunity to look at who, what and why I am taking a picture. Taking a picture to capture the moment is great, but a picture that tells a story should be the goal.
