    Sticky Note

    Phones around town are all loaded with them. LOL


    Sticky Note by Cosmonaut's, on Flickr

    PS, this phone is about a miles walk from the local jail and also the closest. I go by this to and from work. When people are released from jail they usually have no way home
    and this is their first destination. You can see them walking in what ever they got arrested in. I see them walking in bitter cold in shorts ect.
    I hope I never have to use this phone.LOL Probably why all the stickies too.

    I like the way the slightly skewed hand piece
    breaks the symetry of this, definitely worth a shot.

    Very good Greg. Yoy got a great photo from this.
    Its shape almost takes on the appearance of the latest model of mobile phone.

    Great capture. I'm wondering about the BG though, maybe just the phone unit?

    Re: Sticky Note

    Good shot, made me laugh.

    After reading what you said about it though, I almost wish that you could convey that in the image, that its the first line of communications for local prisoners. Although, how to do that? I dunno, I just had an idea but no idea how to do it.

    What do the stickies say?

    Thanks all. I was trying to eliminate as much background noise as I could Liban, very busy street. Anbesol it is mostly small companies and people looking for work. Most of it is in Spanish.

    Great subject, made even better by the caption. I would like to see a little more space (sky) above the telephone, as it feels slightly cramped up there, but it is Ok. Good choice for B&W.

    Thanks GB, I think I have enough to go back and loosen it up some. I may take another look at it.
