Perhaps I watch too much TV but here are some more from the past.
Dark Skies (1996)
Noah’s Castle (1979)
Nunhead Cemetery, London
Don’t get locked in after dark…do you really want to trust that this phone works?
Some of our recent viewings
Headhunters (2011)
Utopia (2014)
A single man (2009)
TV
Not technically a classic as such but it will be with time… Fargo.
Fargo (2014)
An old tv series…(update Oct 2014: I watched the first 3 episodes of Dark Skies via Amazon Prime subscription service. Then all of a sudden the series was no longer available – not for free and not to pay for. No idea why. I have since talked to another who has experienced the same thing with other shows. Screw you Amazon.)
Dark Skies (1996)
Recent travels
We visited Australia recently, stopping at Dubai airport and getting out at Singapore for a few days on the return leg. The Dubai airport phones seem bright and shiny and new, Sydney provides you with a map of the city, Melbourne have a colour thing going on with pink and orange shelters and Singapore airport caters for the disabled:
Dubai airport

Melbourne museum
Singapore airport

An extra from GOMA, Brisbane…

Journalists and Spies
A couple from ‘All the President’s Men’ (1976) staring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman…
And again with ‘Person of Interest’ (season 2, episode 22, 2014) – where even in today’s world of mobile phones the pay phone plays an integral part in the plot (and pay phones in Manhattan are guarded by g-men)…
Shanghai, China
Two from Matthew’s visit not so long ago:
Some random old photos

Hong Kong
Albufeural, Portugal
Ireland
Here are some from about a year ago when we visited Ireland:
Cobh
Cork
Dublin
Galway
old style
Istanbul, Turkey
We recently visited Istanbul and came across a real variety of phone boxes. I traveled here many years ago but it was the trip before my decision to photograph phone boxes on my travels so it was good to go back and make up for missed opportunities.
I like this one hidden within a stall, behind the Blue Mosque…
