January 2025 - Upscale No Parking Sign
About the Image(s)
I thought this was unique. Rather than post No Parking signs, this woman’s job was to walk around the block with her No Parking sign.
Location: Tokyo. Azabudai Hills complex that contains Tokyo’s tallest building, upscale shopping (photo was taken in front of the Cartier store), gardens, the Digital Team Lab experience.
Sony A1; Tamron 28-200 @ 72mm; f/4.0; 1/320 sec.
Minor edits in LR to highlight the sign holder and sign, cropping.

Interesting story for the shot. For my taste I would crop the image and get closer the woman. Posted: 01/15/2025 02:48:57
I think I would leave the image much as is, perhaps a small amount of crop on the right side removing the black object and an equally small crop along the top to maintain the ratio of your image. I do see some humour in the image as it seems that she is to some degree a walking billboard with a regulation for an area that does not seem to be able to support vehicle traffic. The image is sharp and the overall image shows the woman in her everyday environment. A pleasant and to me showing some humour in our daily lives. I enjoyed looking at this image.
