Murasaki Babydoll in Shinjuku

..May 2007 Under a tall office building behind the bushes in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan..

Murasaki Babydoll

Eva Violet tried to get this photo done before the exhibition in Tokyo. We could never arrange a photo because their trip to New York was canceled months before. We finally got it done a year and half later. I shot this under a fading sun in Shinjuku. Only an hour as the sun fades quickly in the Center of the Black Eye.

The color dominated what I saw. They were very silly as Japanese schoolgirls. What I expected. Eva had difficultly getting to the shot. A gig the night before, wild night at the performance. They rushed to get their costumes on in the bushes underneath an office tower. I still think about these women weeks later…

I would like to photograph them next time with a darker setting.

    A good day with crazy women, the norm for the area near the bushes behind the Metropolitan govt. buildings in Shinjuku.
