Pay Phone......The End?

2008-10-12T14:18:00.000-05:00

I'm thinking about starting a project, something that may be interesting. I am going to start photographing pay phones. Sounds silly doesn't it? However, hear me out, pay phones are from what I've been reading are on the way out.

What I want to do is photograph every pay phone I can, both with my normal camera and my camera phone (which is why the end of the pay phone is near). Not from camera phones but cell phones.

As it stands right now I only have pictures of two pay phones, but over the next few weeks and months I want to add as many as I can. A little bit of history documented..........or at last we'll see.

The life span of most commercial airplanes is said to be around 30 years; and so, just as there was a 1970s explosion in aircraft production. What's to be done with them? Aircraft contain toxic materials, so dumping them at a far-off airfield or throwing them in the sea is clearly unacceptable.
