Maybe it’s like shooting fish in a barrel – taking pictures of people on their phones as they are out and about in the city….  sometimes by themselves and sometimes with friends and family.  But always with a phone in their hand.   Ubiquitous.  Addictive.  Constant.  So for the past few months I have been taking a look at our relationship with those phones (and our surroundings) while we are out in public.  It’s still a work in progress and yes, some photos are not as interesting as the others.   This is a few of what I have so far…..
