Ed Rooney Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Things have changed. It used to be pertinent to get snaps of 'people doing things.' That was Street. Now, if people are not digging a hole or standing on a step ladder, they are on their smart phone, talking, texting, or watching a video. I have that shot. We all do. How many more do we need?

The phones got bigger (or rather the cameras got smaller), maybe selfies widened the field a bit when phones became cameras too.........Wellington, 2019. Porto, 2016. These three were everywhere that day. So were we, I guess. Another Porto one. The bronze dude is Fernando Pessoa. And no, I haven't licensed one.

Not really looking for any more unless it is completely unique. How unique I will not know till it happens. Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Ore Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I've seen a few that were unique enough -- camel rider taking on a cell phone, feathered and costumed Amazonian indigenous guy using a phone (not a cell phone if I'm remembering correctly, but it would probably be one more recently), and the monkey with the stolen cell phone.

Betty LaRue Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I have this one of a couple who interrupted their bike ride for the man to answer his phone, right across the street from me. A tiny bit unique because it was a first time to see this scenario after years of mobile phone uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I don't think that I've ever licensed an image of someone yakking on a phone. Do we need more? Somehow I don't think so. Nonetheless, I'm a bit of a sucker for those types of shots Here's a recent one shot on the beach. Whatever happened to solitude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Oh no! No no no!!!! Did my original post read like I wanted to see captures of people with cell phones? Good grief, I HATE pictures of people with their phones. And I hate selfies! The point I was trying to make (and obviously failing at) is that the constant involvement with these things is the death of Street photography.

The point I was trying to make (and obviously failing at) is that the constant involvement with these things is the death of Street photography. Edo Your post did convey the idea Edo. I don't do much street photography because 90% of the time, I'm in the wilderness. This was to demonstrate that these days, the selfie or phone obsession occurs wherever you go. 1. Were tourists at an Aboriginal show. 2. Were tourists sailing to Green Island 3. Was in Borneo with pygmee elephants. Only last week, someone asked me if I wanted my picture taken with my camera.
