Love this.

How about that. Thanks everyone. I never thought this cut little phone could generate so much chatter. A pleasant surprise to be sure.
Shadowbox... yes, I work at Veer. Mostly web stuff. Sometimes typography. Always grooviness.
Loungerie... thanks for the pointer. I had yet to stumble across that group. Consider it added.
Elisabeth... we purchased the phone from a place that sells refurbished equipment. I'll see if I can dig up the site for you.

In case anyone is interested, the phone in the picture is an authentic 1960s Siemens refurbished by and available through Art Thang.

I can't believe that 50 people have flagged this image as a favorite. Incredible. Don't get me wrong... I appreciate all the accolades and attention, but it's more than just a little boggling to me. Thank you everyone.

splorp (73 months ago | reply)
Thank you for the comments jot.de, Kafusha, and sekundo. Much appreciated. Sekundo, the lighting was very simple... a single halogen table lamp bounced off the ceiling.

sarahfaur (71 months ago | reply)
love the photo, a friend sent it to me because i have one in green that i got from Art Thang as well.

I love Orange, I love Retrophones!!!
pencilpusher143 (70 months ago | reply)
amazing pic. I wish I had one like that! blogged
splorp (70 months ago | reply)
@jenerally Thanks. Orange and grey are the new black.
@sarahfaur Those Art Thang gewgaws are wonderful. This phone isn’t currently connected to anything right now - people were saying that the microphone created too much static. Since it’s an old carbon-based receiver, sometimes the insides get a bit crufty. I think I’m going to take it home and try to get it back up to scratch. Seems a shame not to be able to use it...
@el roldán I think most everyone on this page does too.
@pencilpusher What are you waiting for? Go get one for yourself.
aminarama (70 months ago | reply)
The cutest thing! Interesting angle, i want that phone!!
splorp (69 months ago | reply)
A lot of people want this phone. Me included. I may have to see if I can buy it off my company, considering that it isn’t being used right now.
