My brother, friend Jesse, and I had finished looking out from atop the Tokyo Tocho building in Shinjuku and walked over to small square with a little pond and waterfall.

After sitting down for a rest I saw this guy come zooming into the park on his little bike and as quickly as he could he tore his shirt, took off shoes and, laying upon them, begun to sunbathe on the hot concrete. I was amazed.

Unfortunately I wasn't quite amazed enough to get this shot perfect. The highlights are a little blown and the sharpness is off. I remember that it was the end of the day and I was running a little low on flash at the point. Well, I wanted to share the story anyway.
