But outside of photography, as suggested by some, I look at it as almost something ridiculous
MMM, if I am remember correctly and according to relatives in Japan, the Otakus are somewhat a target of discrimination in Japan am I right?

I agree that it's such a nice target for photography
Love Harajuku on sundays (and well, other days too).
Otherwise, I don't see it as being "ridicilous"
AT ALL. Some people are interested in doing it. They have fun doing it. That's all that anyone should have to say about it.
Judging and saying that it's worse than other hobbies/interests or whatever is just lame IMHO.
