Visiting

I've passed on one too many phone booth clusters in my lifetime.

There's something beautiful and poetic about how they're crafted and placed.

One can only imagine the decades of conversations that have taken place within these booths ...

When I was in Los Angeles last summer , I remember how many there were at the UCLA Medical Center. Floor after floor of them. All slightly different.

Its a typology and vernacular that will soon disappear I'm afraid.

These photographs all resulted from a recent visit to very familiar places for me in New York state.
