| Hung up Toronto, ON August 2024 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
I’m not sure I have the courage to actually touch it, but I can’t catch anything by taking a photo, so it doesn’t take long before I’m composing away.
I wonder how long this particular phone will stick around. And how we’ll remember these coin-fed relics when they finally disappear from the shadowy corners of our communities.
The irony that I’m shooting photos with my smartphone - the very device that relegated these once-ubiquitous phones to obsolescence - isn’t lost on me. It’s called progress, but it can’t hurt to linger for a bit over what’s lost when the dial tone goes silent for good.
