Tsukiji Fish Auction, Tokyo, Japan

I'm in the middle of my two week visit to Tokyo and we finally got up at 5a to see fish being slung around and fought over during the morning tuna auction. Well, not literally. But, that's what I expected. In reality, it was a very civilized boys club-esque seeming experience. In a twenty minute visit I was able to observe the interactions of friends picking the best fishies, or monstrous creatures, for their needs--mostly for restaurants and grocery stores, I assume. I may have to go back before I head home to LA. So far, it's been the most exhilarating thing to photograph journalistically.
