"Window Red" Tokyo Japan 2004

I received a Lomo Kompact Toy Camera for Christmas last year and took a large number of photos I might normally have avoided. This one, I believe, represents the best of the Lomo lot. In Ikebukuro, a shopping town in Tokyo, I found this nail shop while waiting to see a concert. Tokyo is often as loud & overstated as this nail shop; a city where every store tries over-hard to grab your attention. Usually it's so intense that it's better to ignore them, but sometimes a place just commands attention!
