Which is a tad depressing in truth! Interesting to compare these with pre smartphone era breaks. Love to imagine we had out noses in a paperback or heaven forbid talked to each other!
It wasn't intended as a collection with phones but somehow just turned out this way ... I have been wanting to do a collection with people reading books but i'm quite short of ten good ones as of this moment!
I begrudgingly give you a like! The photos are fine, don't take offense, please, but I long for a random shot of a crowd with no one holding a phone! That should be a theme of a photo contest. Call me anachronistic and old school. 😬😬😬
I humbly accept your like Mark ... and I think it will be my mission to see whether I can fulfil your request ... but I wouldn't hold your breath lol! My 18 year old just showed me some video of a gig he went to and what I was astounded by were the number of people videoing on their phones ... I feel that in ten years time things will be very different - hopefully. I need to dig out a series I took in 1996 along Oxford Street ... not many phones in those!
The head tilt towards our device…. Very 21st century.
Absolutely - I didn't intend to make this a smoke and phone collection - more a 'take a break' but this is what came out ...
Anthropology is unarguable!

Lol, I'm reading your post during my break. Very recognizable!
Perfect timing lol!
Your photos are great. Thanks, Richard!
Thank you Rod - you're very welcome!
Every photo the people are on their phone, I’d like to see people relaxing with nature away from phones and stress

I like this series a lot. And wow that’s a lot of people smoking as recently as 2023. Big Tobacco keeps on…
Thank you Donn - vaping is slowly creeping in - but you're right it's surprising how many real smokers there still are!
Heartbreaking. The devil in the palm. Never look up. Never see creation or the creator.
