Home - 2005 - Death of a Pager

Photographer: Josh Eckels

A nice assortment of tools This one's mine Three happy ex-Amazon.com employees A little pre-destruction toasting On the chopping block Ready... Aim... Crush! Britt eagerly waits for his turn Just a little love tap Britt says a tearful goodbye The windup It's a tough little bugger Making the pager dance once last time Beck gets all strapped in Some more gentle loving The pager catches some air Looking a little worse for the wear Jess gets ready... Jess gets set... Jess shoots the pager (look for the blur over the candle) Some nice distance on that swing Play it as it lies Jess, reporting for Amazon on-call Britt's ready for another pager rotation Sinister phase two begins Securing the beast One more for good measure Looking up the proper technique, so as to not void the warranty Getting everything lined up all pretty Carefully following the instructions for "Turning the Pager Off" Concerned faces underscore the gravity of the situation A properly secured pager Pager, with reference material A little fire makes everything a little better Just like making a creme brulee Scorched pager Starting the gentle toasting process Zooming in on the action Burn, baby, burn Time for the afterburner Flames lapping at the pager This pager won't be hurting anyone else Framed for posterity The plaque The finished product
