Peter: your photos are really nice... you should consider sending the {payphone} flick to 2600 ([[http://www.2600.com/phones]]).
i like how the photos are scans of prints with nice white borders. its getting harder and harder to find developers...... chiamattt: Payphones are still used in Seoul!... Jamie: It seems inevitable really, which is why I'm surprised by the introduction of the abovepictured booths. I really don't remember the last time i saw someone use a payphone.. and you never see those "British"...... Peter: after almost 130 years of service, ATT announced that it will cease {payphone} service in the 13 states it covers by the end of 2008...

ATM/Payphone combo... Jamie: What kind of payphones ##aren't## pays-as-you-use? I like the idea of combining a payphone with a vending machine though. I don't remember where but i've seen some free-standing cash machine/payphone combos here in the uk...... Peter: i suppose it is. my bad for not properly labeling each and every element of the photo. though i must admit, i see many of those sorts of {payphones} around... the {coke machine}, not so......

I have only ever seen a couple of them. I think they must have been popular in the days when delivery drivers didn't have handphones to call...... Peter: also fun: calling the payphone at the boathouse in central park (212-650-0786) and asking how the weather is. its nice; sometimes, you can chat up a passerby for about a half hour, if youre bored....... jeeff: actually i did that when i worked at the cn tower. sometimes we had to go stand in the lobby for hours at a time. it was boring and there were payphones nearby....... jeeff: haha that's great. i sometimes do the reverse when i'm bored in a public place. i dial random 1-800 numbers from payphones. you will be amazed at what you find, particularly if...... chiamattt: You and your payphone lust. ... chiamattt: sorry. no payphones peter. ummm this is on the way home from work.
Some pics from a taxi and some while walking.

chiam: got pics of {korean} payphones?... chiamattt: The payphone. Kinda sad to see them slowly passing away.
... Peter: wow, the payphones look different in canada than they do here.
also: in the above photo of the guy buffing the wall in prep for hool's arrival, i love how the bolts in the right side...... ella lumpkins: This is really amazing...
There is nothing like this where I live (in Louisville KY) althought there are buisnesses that have to get their walls repainted monthly because a lot of people have gotten into street...... Peter: those look alot like teh buildings/sky at coney island... nice.
last time i was in {camden}, i was almost mugged by someone trying to steal the 50 cents I was attempting to use in a payphone....... Peter: jj- thanks for pasing this story on to us. like jamie, i really enjoy the {text} entries too, sometimes alot more than the {photo} posts, as theyre alot more informative and imaginative.
ive seen situations like...... Peter: jamie, [[97:remember this]]? there is an entry here somewhere of the jamazon/citynoise stickers that got plastered all over nyc busses anad payphones, but i cant find the entry at the moment... also: i used to......
