Pay phones at the Tokyo Narita airport. This is the very first shot I took upon landing in Japan. I cant wait to go back! In my 2 weeks in Japan - I never saw one person using a pay phone, yet they are everywhere. This is obviously due to the Japanese love for their keitais. So why the payphones continue to exist is a mystery.

great repetition effect and i like how the greens stand out. the wall also make an interesting pattern in the background - well seen and captured! minimodi @ 10-10-2009
This is a stunner! Lovin' those colours and composition! David H-W @ 10-10-2009
so clean, feels clinical. I do like it! terrorkitten @ 10-10-2009
It is very interesting how the bases aren't all lined up. Love the lime green. Devyn @ 10-10-2009
Seems odd that there are so many things out of place and yet it all seems like such a perfect lineup. I like those two splashes of green. sherri @ 10-10-2009
amazing lightning and well choosen format Klaus @ 10-11-2009
very expessive colors nice contrast fabrizio @ 10-11-2009
Good colors and composition. I like it. Felix @ 10-11-2009
Nice composition. Is very original. And Gorgeous colours Oscar @ 10-11-2009
This is really a rare site in this modern age of the cellphone. Claus Petersen @ 10-11-2009
A fine shot to notice and shoot. The two brightly colored phones are very eye-catching (as intended no doubt), but interesting that they don't seem to be used.
Probably a victim of the cell phone. don @ 10-11-2009
Super shot . You make me curious about green ones . PS-ed or real green ? MARIANA @ 10-11-2009
Thanks!
@MARIANA: Its real green. I keep my pp to the very minimum these days. The two green phones are different in that they take credit cards and the other take phone cards. faisal @ 10-11-2009
these phone booths seem to be very japanese to me.. :) maybe they keep it for the old timers.. :) rian @ 10-11-2009
nice colour and comp...something very graphic in its arrangement Tayab @ 10-11-2009
Superb shot! I like all the details that breaks the perfect line. The two green ones, the missing phone directory and the bases that seems to move.
Just perfect! pernilla @ 10-11-2009
Nice capture and good description ;) Sylvain @ 10-11-2009
Great shot! These are nearly extinct here... Everyone has a cell phone now. Krista @ 10-11-2009
the green color is very attractive among all! joshi daniel @ 10-12-2009
Thanks . That is very neat idea :) Super ! MARIANA @ 10-12-2009
Bonsoir,
A good idea..great light and details..bravo! jelb @ 10-12-2009
What stikes me immediately is the size of the phone books underneath. This is Toyko! Those phone books must been for Narita itself.
And on the green phones that take credit cards - this is Japan...there are almost no credit cards accepted. ROB @ 10-13-2009
cool. that green just pops out at you. :) Otto K. @ 10-13-2009
"One of these is not like the other"...no, make that 2. A very cool shot! Nice find and wonderfully processed and presented! bluechameleon @ 10-13-2009
Interesting image, I like the contrast between the perfectly ordered segmented background and the uneven line of phone bases. Great colours and metallic feel. John @ 10-13-2009
Someone stole one of the yellow pages! :) Great shot! Arjan - PlasticDaisy @ 10-13-2009
the lime green ones give the impression you could call someone else ... like the Wizard of Oz! crash @ 10-14-2009
