A Local Calling

September 1, 2010 3 Comments

This old phone box was standing on the corner of First and Jefferson, crying out for a bit of attention. A quick whip of string and tin can later we have a play on outmoded technology and the connections we make in our modern lives.

My son is a natural in front of the camera, that stance is all his own. The way his left knee bends and head tilts recall his no fuss attitude.

As of today, the tin can is no longer hanging there. Given the area the phone box is in, I’m guessing the can was clipped from it’s string for recycling money.

    When I was in 3rd grade my friend (across the alley) and I make a tin can phone from my bedroom to hers. What we didn’t count on was the fence. When the string touched the fence, it ruined the sound waves. I’m sure that was the only reason it didn’t work!
    We worked hard on it.
    We also made stilts from bigger tin cans with clothesline rope and had fun clunking around.
