A Tale Of Two Pay Phones
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…
Actually it was not that great of a time. I wasn’t even sure pay phones still existed anymore until I saw a guy talking on the one on the right in May. I got one photo of the guy with his back to me, and then I saw police nearby so I tried to act natural. When I was sure they weren’t interested in me, I took this shot of the phone by itself. I remembered a photo I took last year in Clarendon - the one on the left. The phone seemed so forlorn that day - the receiver off the hook, the abandoned storefronts all along the block, and the chilly wind ripping at my bare hands… Oh, sorry - I almost forgot that it was the middle of July. I better wrap this up before my laptop catches fire or something.
