Photographer's Note
Tokyo back streets are narrow. So narrow that it's a wonder how some roads can be 2 way. It's quite often that I see a car turn in and then have to back out to let another car out.
To add to the craziness, trucks love to park on the sides of these narrow streets. To just allow a car to squeeze by, the mirrors of the trucks have the ability to swing out of the way.
Here's an example.

Great idea and a great capture Ken!!
The slightly blurred building contrast well with the sharp contents of the side mirror.
Black & White works very well here too.
I somehow really like the security camera on the wall too. I guess it adds to the urban feel of the shot.
Finally I think the fact that the woman is looking at this weird photographer sneeking a shot between two vehicles is the icing on the cake. :-)
Well Done!!

Tremendous use of both your 20mm and the truck's mirror.
I like the context of street here, and your framing is just great. B&W was the only choice too. Very nice.

Very nice photo, the composition is remarkable. The people are very well captured too.
