Almost everyone in London seemed to have a cell phone of one kind or other. It was therefore quite surprising to observe so many venerable old style phone booths still around. Other than making for handy rain shelters, can't imagine how they are cost justified. They are rather attractive reminders of the past, however.

"Phone Gooding 5"
remember the good old days when you could make a phone call with just the operator and one number? Me neither.
I wanted to show how over time people forget about some of the older types of technology. Its almost as if they are "Melting Away." The Dark, dramatic, and almost depressing background sets an upsetting mood on this Melting Phone; an effective way to show the past and how it is slowly being forgotten. This was also a learning process me. I learned new techniques in photoshop, some of the melting was from Crayons I melted with a hair dryer, I took some of the surrounding colors and used the brush tool and the smudge tool to connect the actual colors to the phone, and then I used the liquify filter for the rest of the melting process.
The signal outside Dudley tunnel has disappeared but the box for the phone used by train crews outside Dudley tunnel remains in situ. It was last used in 1993.
From our collection of family photos, this is a tram (aka streetcar) operated by the BC Electric Railway Company that offered two-hour sightseeing trips around the streetcar system of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They were apparently popular for tourists and locals alike, from around 1910 onwards.
This photo has an inscription printed across the bottom, although it was too faint to scan:
" B.C.Electric Rly.Co. Observation Car. "Teddy" Lyons, Conductor. Harry Bullen, Photographer . 2608 Granville St. Phone Bay 8869 "
On the back is a date stamp : "Aug 5 1940"
This leads me to believe that each streetcar trip was posed for a photograph by Mr.Bullen, with the passengers informed where they could purchase a copy of the photo as a souvenir of their trip. Presumably one of our family or family friends at the time is a passenger on this trip, although we can't identify anyone specifically; it is, of course, over 80 years ago !

I love seeing people use pay phones in this current age.
