Payphones Past

Phone Booths I, II, & III by HowNowVihao at deviantART

Red, White, and Light Purple seem to comprise the color theme for these two unnamed dancers occupying a duo of Manhattan payphone enclosures at Union Square in Manhattan. These are somewhat older photos, from 2010. Both payphones in these photos have been trashed and replaced by a single LinkNYC monolith.

The second photo, in which the dancer’s head is pressed against graffiti on the payphone enclosure’s ceiling, makes for an interesting juxtaposition of elegance and coarseness.

These photos are from deviantART artist Vihao Pham, aka HowNowVihao. Find Vihao at deviantART and also on Facebook.
