Description This is a photo in a project that me and two friends are trying here at deviantArt.

The goal is to take 100 photos, each one with a number in the photo, and naturally in numerical order.

*** Check 1hundredphotos project at [link] ***


The dial pad (?) of an old telephone from a Swedish phone booth. (the phone hangs in my living room )

Shot with this gear:
Camera: Pentax K20D
Lens: Pentax SMC-FA 50mm f1.4 with a Panagor tele/macro-converter attached
White balance set to camera auto
ISO 1600
1/125 second
f / 16
Focal length 50mm
Macro converter used to get close enough for the macro shot

This phone was placed in a small town in southern Sweden called Klippan, there's a small ID-tag with the text "Klippan CK 3531". I don't know when this phone was put up or removed, but this model was used in the 1970:s. And judging from the corrosion on the crome parts i'd say it's been mounted in an outdoor phone booth.

I don't speak any russian, i was just a tourist in Murmansk.

I do agree with you though, the phone dial brings back memories from the past. Now it's all mobile phones in everyones pocket

(i do have Russian language support from my girlfriend though )

I like this. This reminds me of something that Darius Khondji would have had in a movie like Se7en. Very nice work.
