Payphones of the world
The Payphone Project documents that most armored, most endangered, and most attacked of technological artifacts: the global payphone. Payphones evolve anti-fraud, anti-tampering measures in the ruthless Darwinian public thoroughfares, and they crop up anywhere an entrepreneur sees an opportunity to turn conversation into cash.
The payphones in the gallery are wild, like this floating payphone in the middle of Lake Victoria in Uganda, solar-powered and GSM-networked. Link (via Street Use)
