‘Tin-Can Telephone’

Mural in Northwest DC painted in 2014 by James Bullough. Due to the narrowness of the alley it was impossible to get a better shot of the kid on the other end of the line. I took a separate one of just him (even that was a challenge), but I really think you need to see the two of them together.

Hey guys, it doesn't work unless you keep the string taut.

you did manage a pretty decent capture despite the challenge....a fisheye lens would have proved useful here..

I guess they are meant to be seen in person. Such lovely artwork.

It must have been a challenge to create this mural is the narrow drive. It's a wonderful one and you met the challenge of photographing it.
