Frank’s pay phone
There were a lot of pay phones in Los Angeles, at least in the part of town we were in. So, if you want to use a pay phone, for nostalgia or other reasons, LA’d be the place to go.
This one, for some reason, seems to be closely connected to Frank Sinatra, although he was not using it at the time I walked past.

Here’s a different view of the crosses I posted the other day.

Barbed Wire Study, LAX
The thing is, when you’re a photographer, it’s nearly impossible to be bored, to have nothing to do. I filled up a few airport hours taking pictures of the activity outside the window. I guess that’s not (yet) banned.
Anyway, my head was full of lessons on micro composition and careful shooting that I’d had that weekend, so I spent a long time working on getting the barbed wire and that white rectangle exactly the way I wanted them. Likewise, over in the Air Canada terminal my friend and erstwhile classmate Ehpem spent his time similarly, but with very different results.
Because that’s what we do.

Slow Afternoon, Union Station
That particular afternoon, none of the people passing through Union Station were in the market for a new hat, leaving the vendor free to watch something on his computer.
