Pay phone, Hollywood, California, 2012

A well-worn pay phone enclosure serves multiple purposes in this photograph. It functions as a trash receptacle, a promotional venue for a electronic dance music web site, and most incongruously, a final resting place for a carefully wrapped but uneaten chocolate covered donut. I move in close to stress the incongruity of these oddly related items at rest together in a place where none of them belong. The promotional sticker, paper bag, and chocolate donut are urban detritus, while the pay phone is a symbolic artifact of another time. Together they made an expressive street photograph, even though no people or streets are included in the frame.
