23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
a vending machine on the streets of Tokyo, Japan

I was fascinated by the abundance of vending machines located on the streets of Japan; here in the US, vending machines are few and far between, and those that do exist are usually broken or understocked. I liked how the unnatural blue of this particular machine contrasted against the muted colors of the graffitied background.
