Not A Phone

I dropped off equipment at a client's so as to avoid having to carry it on packed-like-sardines trains in the morning, then wended my way home, hoping to grab a few worthwhile photos along the way. I stopped at the Ferry Building to send a text to a friend to see if she'd be up for a quick get together, and saw an opportunity right next to me.

Much is made of people staring at their phones, and I must admit to having come to rely on them for a great deal. But before phones, as photographs have well documented, people have always found ways to nor interact with others, whether with transistor radios or newspapers or... books. I do believe that it can get a bit ridiculous, but the computer and its mini-descendants have brought some amazing relationships into my life, and have brought about welcome changes that without computers and the internet, I never would have experienced.
