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

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
