More mysterious images - interesting approach to colors. The red jumps out in the second one especially the umbrella. But I can't figure out how the title applies.

And in the second shot does the clipped text t the top of the building say BIC camera? I associate. BIC with lighters and didn't know there was a camera connection.
 
Thanks, Rich!

The title "Tokyo Runner" was in reference to the iconic film, Blade Runner. It was a bit of a stretch so I knew that the connection might not be made, but I tried anyway. :ROFLMAO:

Bic Camera is the name of the largest camera store chain in Japan--and possibly the world. Massive! An incredible one stop shopping experience. You'd be quite happy spending a couple of hours there, I think. I often do. :daumenhoch:

Ok - yes, I see the connections to Blade Runner. A movie in my collection, along with all the books by P.K. Dick.

Yes, I could spend way more than 2 hours in a large camera store. If it hadn't been so difficult getting into Manhattan from NJ when I lived there I would have spent many hours in the big stores there.

Well I like these a lot - feeling of being there and so on.

Re: Blade Runner is that it seemed to be p**sing down all the time in LA
Thank you! Perpetual rain and fog and mist in a world of glowing and crackling neon. I've read many years ago the archetype for the city was Tokyo. Could be wrong, but I feel it's accurate.
