1980s New York City Pay Phones Abstract Photo

            Vintage abstract image of a bank of pay telephones on the outside wall of a candy store somewhere in New York City. On the slim chance that one of these phones would actually be working, I would imagine you would need a shot of penicillin before, or after, you used it. A long gone site here in New York City, or anywhere else for that matter. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
