Phone Booth Photos from Daniel Hopsicker

Just a little gallery of some full-size phone booths in various states of the northeast U.S., from Daniel Hopsicker. I may have posted some of these before but nothing is wrong with revisiting. Or so I’ve recently come to conclude. For most of my years on the WWW I held fast that a piece of content should be posted once and only once, and that posting of content in all venues, be it a website, social media, a message board, etc., should be courteously kept to a minimum so as to let others’ voices be allowed their time at the pulpit. Does that pulpit exist anymore? Is thoughtfulness and succinctness still considered a virtue? I do not think so. Not for a long time.

/rant over. Enjoy the phone booth photos from Daniel Hopsicker, shot on various film formats with a film SLR. Phone booths here are from Speculator, NY; Long Lake, NY; Martinsburg, WV; Luzurne, NY; Rochester, NY; Cape Cod, MA; and other places.
