pets wait in boxes

I don't know if this was a pet store or a kennel but I thought the lighting a bit odd if they want the cats to sleep. I shot this while trekking from Shibuya to Shinjuku after the sort of day at the office where you need a good walk with a camera. "Shutter therapy", they call it.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
