Payphones used to be everywhere. When I did street photography in Toronto in the eighties, I didn’t go out of my way to photograph them. Yet, they appear in so many of my shots. I remember my first answering machine from the mid-eighties–I could actually get my messages remotely from a payphone with the aid of a little beeper. My, times have changed!
in 1998 phone cards for payphones were still used…but it quickly changed in next years…
I remember those phone cards.
