While shooting this payphone I witnessed a truly bizarre scene on the street.  A man & woman in a toxic relationship – definitely under the influence & either selling or waiting to buy.  I foresaw a dark future for them.

A very talkative, very paranoid dude stopped me here to ask if I was taking pictures of phones for the city.  He went on & on about the local scene & how it’s gone ‘down’ over the years.
