Kyoto, Japan 2017


"Seeing a geisha in Kyoto is as easy as seeing a Unicorn." Those words kept repeating over and over as I hit the 5th hour of waiting—for one of these 'unicorns' to appear before me. Just as I let out another exasperated sigh; then it finally happened. An elegant and graceful woman strolls pass me. Her look is captivating. She stops at an intersection and looks both ways, not before giving a slight glance at my camera lens and quickly avoiding contact. She looks away as I snap this beautiful moment: Unicorn in headlights.
