Aiseki Moments B.W. by yawning hunter Via Flickr: We ended up sharing a table (aiseki), and without warning, I pointed my camera at this unsuspecting salaryman. In the first shot, he simply turned his gaze—clueless. Then came the golden moment: photo two. Eyebrows up, mouth slightly open, a perfect freeze-frame of pure surprise. Not only did I catch him off guard, I caught his reaction to being caught off guard! That’s a double win. By the third shot, he’s giving a shy smile, realizing he’s now in the middle of a silent, one-sided photoshoot. Hey, Mr. Salaryman—your double-take? Absolute comedy gold.
