THAT made me feel > old, and I'm certainly not OLD. > Nipper!! That's it! I couldn't remember last night, and neither could my housemate (who thinks she's a know-it-all WRT trivia). I kept thinking it was Topper, or something like that, but couldn't come up with Nipper. I could have Googled it, I guess, but that would have been cheating, no? Oh well, I was close... Hmmm... Phonebooths. I don't know that I've any photos of those. I have a few payphone shots, but none of booths, with the doors and all. Now, ~that~ would be interesting. Most of them seem quite derelict these days; I mean, with cells, who the hell uses payphones these days? I'll have to keep an eye for booths. Especially the real old wooden ones, such as one would find inside of older buildings. I know there are a very few of them downtown; I just have to rack my brains to figure out where. Oh yeah, funny pic, Wendy! I like it. <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
