Endangered Species

Hamilton, Ohio

I don't know about your part of the world, but around here these "Superman" phone booths are pretty much extinct. I passed this one in town (At Hancock and Rt. 4, I believe) the other day and knew I'd have to come back for a PaD. I didn't even notice the entire setting until I got there today. I loved the yellow and blues that just go perfectly with the phone booth - not to mention the shadows and all the square/rectangular shapes. I went for the phone booth but was really pleasantly surprised by the "pluses." This is what I mean when I say doing photography helps you "see" things. Wouldn't have paid any attention to this before, I'm sure. Comments?

Jana,

Too late! I've gone by it recently and the phone booth was taken out, the colors have really faded and I think the windows are even boarded up. :( This photo and one other that I've done have taught me that it's worth it to take that photo when you think about it! :) Thanks for your comment.

I'm glad I took this shot when I did. The place (I believe it was a carwash) is now closed - windows boarded up, paint faded and the telephone booth is no longer there. :( If you see a great photo...take the time to shoot it!

I like the blue and yellow wall. Almost a dead on match for the phone booth.
