• The Pink Boss

    A woman in a pink dress stands on the street, in front of a BOSS store.

    How often do we stand still on the street, surrounded by the urban environment, looking at a phone?

  • Eircom have notions

    A double phonebox looking pretty beat up. The phones belong to Eircom, but "NOTIONS" stickers are stuck on it.

    The double phone box on Proby’s Quay is looking the worse for wear these days. This is what it looked like on a bright July day in 2021. It hasn’t improved since.

    Notions.

  • Wrong Side of the Lens

    This is the trailer for a new street photography documentary series. I’ve only watched this trailer, but it looks very promising.

    Found in the ever excellent “Photos, mostly” newsletter.

  • The John Hancock Center in 2003

    The Sears Tower in Chicago in 2003 rises above nearby buildings

    Right, as I have been reliably informed in the comments, this is the John Hancock Center in Chicago. Ah well. I haven’t been there in twenty years.

    The Sears Tower rises above all nearby buildings in Chicago in 2003.

    It was renamed the Willis Tower in 2009, but when I took this photo from a nearby building in 2003, it was still the Sears Tower.

    Although Sears’ naming rights expired in 2003, the building continued to be called the Sears Tower for several years, despite multiple changes in ownership. In March 2009, London-based insurance broker Willis Group Holdings agreed to lease a portion of the building and obtained the naming rights. On July 16, 2009, the building was officially renamed the Willis Tower.
