On Elmwood Avenue, between Summer and Bryant, there are quite a number of offices that occupy what was once a residential section of the street. Many of the offices, such as the law firms, have lawn mounted signs that market the respective businesses.

Last night I came across a slightly different style of marketing technique that certainly caught my eye. At first I though that it was a phone booth, but as I got closer I realized that it was some type of outhouse. But on Elmwood? And with clear viewing windows?

My next thought was that this was a political statement, but when I read the accompanying signage, I discovered that it was indeed a marketing tool for Flush Photography (by Markenzy J. Cesar).

It’s a photo booth! People can walk right up and snap photos of their friends interacting with the display.

All I can say is, I hope that artist/photographer Markenzy didn’t wake up to any unexpected surprises this morning, awaiting him inside the toilet bowl. Although the outhouse was lit up, I’m sure that a completely drunk person would not think twice about relieving the pressure that can sometimes build up from Allentown to the Elmwood District… thankfully this bathroom unit is outfitted with a scrub brush.

Every good photo studio needs some models, right? In this case, I would love to see the Craigslist ad!
