 Don't ask why Mister SF posed in front of this phone booth in 2006 - okay, the deliciously inappropriate graffito and the billboard above have been cropped - but a few months later workers cropped the phone, too. |
Vintage
Traffic Signals from the 1930s-1950s are disappearing with progress.
The TV series Streets of San Francisco
and The Lineup are excellent archives
of these details and other street acoutrement such as police
call boxes, phone
booths, and train switches. San
Francisco is itself a work of art. Mister SF's photo series marks
the death of a small detail, perhaps. But, as with all great art, every
brush stroke matters. |
