This is awesome. All modesty aside: this. is. awesome. Why? Well, here's a short explanation (well, it could definitely be shorter):
The phone booth on the picture is around the corner from where I live and for some reason its door tends to be wide open. Whenever I pass by, exspecially at night, I notice this.
This in itself wouldn't be that special-- this phone booth is in several ways uncommon, singular, maybe even unique. It's yellow, from back the time when the German state mail service was still in charge of phones and stuff. Since the mid-nineties most booths have been replaced by gray/pink booths (according to the corporate design of Deutsche Telekom) ...wherever there still are yellow booths the receiver was replaced by a pink one. Yes, awful, indeed. Well, anyway, just like referred to in the movie of the same title, phone booths in general are becoming less present, because they're all being replaced by those columns with phones on them. Okay, this total leftover from the last century, to me, seemed like the perfect setting for this "staged", story-telling picture, which -- this is at least what I hope -- creates the impression of drama, of danger... but whatever.
This is almost a proper, regular blogpost. I'm sorry, won't happen again.
Picture, 1-2 sentences -- from now on.

Too bad there was glass between the camera and this little office. Otherwise, fucking lovely.
