They say that if you are good, you will be lucky. Well, I must say, this is probably the luckiest capture of mine. I was in Narita san Buddhist temple complex the other day, just about 1h by train from Tokyo, and I was walking through the temple park. I was shocked when I saw this old Japanese building tucked in between some trees. It is not usual to see ruined unattended structures on the temple grounds, and especially parks like that at Narita san. This park is being maintained very well. So anyways, I spotted it and pulled up my camera with a 70-200 mm lens mounted on and took one shot, then I stepped down to 70 mm to take a wide shot which would have the entire structure in frame. Just before I pressed the shutter I said to myself "I wish I had someone there in that entrance, so it doesnt look so empty and lifeless". The moment I said that this guy came out of nowhere. He was so perfect I nearly forgot to take the photo. The cigarette, the 100 yards stare, those two dogs (one of them is Shiba breed, so you could not get more Japanese than that), and even his shirt matched that laundry hanger to the top left (both were blue). I mean this photo could not be any more perfect. It is a gift from Buddha for carrying a DLSR with battery grip and a massive lens in my hand all day long.
