Phone Box

[Chris Bennett]

This is a great comment. As a print finisher I find myself usually a little tentative about my personal work. After producing work from so many "Real" photographers I'm not sure my own is quite good enough. This definitely keeps me from showing my work.

Just a thought. If you have another opportunity to place work in a booth maybe some of the papers that can be printed on both sides would be a choice to consider. MOAB has a nice photo black two-sided paper. There are matte black choices as well but I think the PK paper would hold up better to the outdoor environment. Maybe print a photo book that looks like a phone book on the cover?

All the best in your endeavors.

Thanks for the tips Bill! Also, I am glad that what I said may encourage you in some way to get your work out there.

Evening all, following a brief chat with Chris I mentioned I’d been to enjoy his exhibition and share some pictures of the phone box of forum legend. I’m a fan of the urban setting at night, and Chris’s work has enhanced this slice of Lancaster. Thanks for creating this project Chris, it’s stimulating new art from it.

He-heh - let's have a meta-exhibition!

Last week, I gave a couple interviews about the project. Here's the result of one of them.

Nice article. I hope you're coordinating the telephone phone removal with BT so you can document the final moments ... the last stand of the Penny Street Phone Box.
