A businessman was waiting for a train to arrive at Meguro Station, looking down

Businessman waiting for the train with his head down — Shot at Meguro Station in Meguro, Tokyo

I got off at the platform of Meguro station. It was a weekday and I had to go to work. In order to avoid the crowded rush hour, I leave my house earlier than most people. This day was no different. The station is empty in the early morning. Still, there are people who think the same way I do, and I saw people on their way to work here and there on the platform.

The businessman in the photo was one of them. He was wearing a neat suit, and was looking down a bit, waiting for the train to come. Since the spread of smart phones, I have seen many people hunched over in the city. They are hunching over to look at their phones while walking. There are many people in the world who are addicted to their phones.

At first, I thought that this slouching businessman was also looking at his phone. But the man's hands were in his pockets. The man was simply looking down. When I looked at the businessman again, I could feel that he did not want to go to work. But maybe that's just because I don't want to go to work.
