In the heart of Tokyo's nightlife, I came to an abrupt halt outside a busy restaurant. A tidal wave of humanity surged around me, oblivious to my presence. Through my viewfinder, I fixated on a solitary man, my inner voice a relentless chant: "Look at me, look at me". Until, finally, the man sitting 'Between Dates' succumbed to my silent plea. With a quick click, he was 'Caught Staring', frozen in time, before I vanished into the chaotic night that is Shinjuku.
