We thought we'd bring you more than just booth babes today.
Today was the first public day of the 2009 Tokyo Game Show. Even though I've been attending for a few years now, the insane number of people in attendance on public days never fails to amaze me. There are locations on the show floor on public days where it's actually hard to breathe. In these places, you will be surrounded on all sides, with no escape. There was a span of about 5 minutes where I was constantly in contact with at least 3 other people I did not know at all times while pushing through the crowd. In some of these shots you'll see examples of what I mean.
Aside from crowd pictures, you'll also find some booth babes, scenery and other oddities. And in a strange twist, I turn the tables and put the camera on the photographers that crowd this show. One photographer had the nerve to give me a look as if to say 'how dare you photograph me without my permission.' Funny, he was doing the very same thing to a booth babe.
