When pondering this weeks theme, I began to think a lot about technology and how quickly things are progressing. There were several things that crossed my mind to photograph that wouldn't be considered a common "old fashioned" item, but in the end, my love for old things one out.
A friend and co-worker graciously offered up her Grandfathers OLD FASHIONED telephone for me to capture. Due to time constraints and not wanting to be responsible for this precious item, I simply snapped a few photos of it at work.
What a beautiful piece of history. I can't wait to see what others have deemed OLD FASHIONED! Have a great weekend everyone. Thank you for visiting my blog this week.

Oh Corey, that phone would go great with my photo hunter entry! Great pictures, I love that the last two where not square to the subject. The photos have so much more interest that way. Have a good weekend!
FABULOUS ! Love all the different takes! Also, the last photo ...looks like a face!
Happy Hunting

Thanks for visiting my "old fashioned".
A wonderful piece of equipment! I can see what you mean about not wanting to be responsible for it - it must be very precious.
Oh what a great phone!!
Happy Weekend.
That's a beautiful piece. Growing up my grandfather had a pair he used as an intercom system between his cottage and his boat house. I remember as a child always being stumped as to how these things work.
Hm... Now I'm in the mood to watch Andy Griffith!
That phone means no long phone coil stretching all the kitchen while one is multi-tasking with a phone under the chin and doing dishes with both hands!! Its Not a Weekend;It's a Lifestyle
You got some great shots for snapping them quickly. What a beautiful old telephone.
What a wonderful example of old-fashioned! It is so well taken care of. Just beautiful!
Oh, that's cool. I grew up with an antique phone like that in my great-grandmother's living room. It had actually been used in that house back in the day.
