Telephone Directory
See that bag on the ground in front of the door? It’s the new telephone directory. That raises a few questions, doesn’t it?

Those folks are paid per delivery…no thought involved. I would know…did that once for a summer job. So rewarding.

It DOES sound like a rewarding job. If, you know, your standards aren’t that high.
Thanks for the explanation; it all makes sense now. Or as much sense as it CAN make.

Yeah, as a teenager mine weren’t very high at all. Toss and run. 🙂

You weren’t being paid to think, after all!

Yes, I don’t think the business left just a few weeks prior to my arrival…!

From the looks of things, this storefront was last a viable business in the time when phone books were relevant. The addition of the book thus makes the scene all the sadder. Steve is right about being paid per delivery, but still, this speaks not well about the state of mind of this particular deliverer.

It sort os speaks not well about a lot of stuff.
But, still, just the sort of thing I like to photograph, as you are certainly aware.
