I'm so impressed by Satoko's efforts at living in the park for 6 weeks. She went way beyond what most photographers do to get to photograph the homeless. I have photographed homeless people living in Asakusa before, I always sat down and spoke to them first, brought them some tea and food and I explained I was a photographer and if they didn't mind could I take their photo. Most were very accomodating, some preferred not to be photographed but would nevertheless talk for a while. I found it very interesting. My efforts seem very superficial compared to Satoko's work though. Seeing Satoko's work really blew me away though, such an effort she put into her work. The photos are so beautiful and crisp as well. Well done for sharing it. Will fascinating article Juergen. I’m so impressed by Satoko’s efforts at living in the park for 6 weeks.
