 Thought about photographing this one for vintage but never got around to it. Then when this challenge came up I new I had to capture it. I had other ideas like superman - (probably done in this challenge already) or having someone standing next to it while talking on a cell phone. But, I only had a few minutes and the light was fading and there was no one standing around in the cold weather. So plain and simple here it is. An old time phone booth. This probably won't score very well but for the sake of this fading era and hard to find Superman closet I had to go photograph this one and enter it.

Editing was done in Lightroom - bump here nudge there etc etc. Then in CS3 save for web and upload. Came back and thought it still needed a little punch so back into CS3 for a curves adjustment flatten, save and upload the new one. ... that'll probably be the downfall on the score. I usually like a lot of punch where I don't think others do. Oh well I say.. done how I like it.

A very interesting USWest (now Qwest isn't it?) box.. I'm going to have to look at your notes on this, as I'm curious where this one is located...

Love those blues and oranges!
