Love and Bubbles

Love and Bubbles in Yoyogi Park, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

This is one of my favorite photos of all time. It happened during a long weekend or a festival in Tokyo. I happened to go to Yoyogi Park where people generally have picnics and spend time relaxing with friends and family. There was a large gathering of people making endless soap bubbles with all kinds of unique accessories. Children and adults alike were running through them like a crazed piranhas to a meal.

After spending over an hour in that frantic mess, I saw this young family with their baby looking at what seemed like a an entire galaxy of stars and planets. I cannot begin to imagine the pleasure and excitement that child must have felt in that moment. It was spectacular! I will treasure forever treasure this photo.
