Sheldon Hull from Houston, United States
I like it. Would be a good shot for a Moby album. That's what it reminds me of.

@Sheldon Hull: cool! I like the moby refernce! thanks sheldon!
Darren from Japan
Well mate that awesome. He's even going the right way.
I like the competing advertising pointing in different directions for a bit of conflict.

@Darren: thanks Darren, yeah the arrows/hand/mouse pointer etc all got me fired up for the location.
Maoya from Rolle, Switzerland
Hihihi that's just great! I like the title, let's us all figure out a bunch of storys for it
12 Jan 2007 6:18am
@Maoya: thanks maoya! the title is a bit of an injoke to be honest...maybe I'll reveal all one day!
@Kheoh Yee Wei: Thanks so much!
Srinivas Koduri from Visakhapatnam, India
Very well thought and framed Duncan. This can be a very good advertising shot.

Colour blind from Tokyo, Japan
classic mate, absolute pearler. did you stay here a while to choose the right subject to take the photo. I guess it you'd have to judge the height of someone to get a great result like you did.

@Colour blind: I did stand here for quite a while to be honest, much to the chagrin of the Kyoto transport police!
Stu from Kyoto, Japan
this is great Duncan. your subject looks a bit suspicious though....!
:)

@Stu: a bit dodgy isnt he ;)
Paul Ricciardi from West Hartford, United States
Well composed and processed, excellent work. Reminds me of a chance at a shot I had yesterday but never got to take.
12 Jan 2007 2:37pm
@Paul Ricciardi: Thanks Paul. stellar stuff from you as always mate. keep on shooting.
micki from United States
This is a very comical post, I can see this as an ad running somewhere.

@micki: Cheers Micki!
Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada
Hey, I remember this guy (Mr. Navitime). Anywhere else in the world, a guy like this looks like a dweeb, but in Japan he's supposed to be "cool". Anyway, quite amusing with the above-mentioned dweebiness doing his best to command, and our pedestrian following orders, but with no real enthusiasm for the task.
12 Jan 2007 3:37pm
@Damon Schreiber: WOw. Didnt realise this guy was so known. It was the first time in 5 years for me to see him!
@Untitled: indeed ;)
@Craig Persel: Thanks Craig!
Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia
Haha. Very cool indeed; love the comedic undertones
12 Jan 2007 10:12pm
@Chris Sullivan: Cheers Chris! I still remember your 'Billie Jean' which had a large part to play in inspiring this one to be honest. thanks again.
Visions by Dean Christopher. from Cardiff, United Kingdom
man, Awesome...I agree with comment @ top-Moby album cover, well done!
12 Jan 2007 10:38pm
@Visions by Dean Christopher.: Cheers Dean! I'm gonna contact moby later this week if the comments continue!
@Angry Buddha: Thanks Sean. Thats much appreciated coming from yourself mate. Thank you again.
@YUI: He's flash alright! cheers Yui!
@Daniel: thanks.
@H.O: Cheers Hiro! have a great weekend mate!
Evelyn from New Milford, United States
Haha, excellent--taken with a great sense of humor. And patience as well, it seems from your comments! I'm not entirely convinced this fellow isn't Yakuza, contacting his brethern...
