Happy Birthday, MIKA NINAGAWA!! The Japanese photographer is 52 years old today. She is known for her brightly colored photographs of flowers, goldfish, and landscapes. Daughter of acclaimed theatre director Yukio Ninagawa, she first came to prominence in the late 1990s as part of Japan's 'Girly Photo' movement (in which amateurs took photos of daily objects).
