beneath a curtain of falling data, he walks—detached from the world, connected only by the glow in his hand. the water pulses like digital rain, tracing his silhouette across a glistening plane of distraction. this moment, fleeting and silent, blurs the line between presence and absence.
in the theatre of the street, he walks unseen — a lone figure lit by the digital glow of elsewhere. around him, the world collapses into shadow, silence, absence. the weight of disconnection is not loud; it hums quietly through the grid of our lives.
Young ladies take a break from walking on the nature trail together. They stop to be far away from each other through their smart phones.

HBM!
Scenes like this have become iconic smartphone postures of this era. Everywhere you look, in cities or in towns, people line the curbs, hunched over, staring at their smartphones. In fact, it is increasingly difficult to find people on the street who aren't glued to their smartphones, even as they walk.

A few moments after I had composed this image, but before I had the chance to fire off a test shot, this woman sat down and proceeded to look at her phone.
There was a lot of swiping; she was either reviewing the photos she had taken on the hike, or was Tindering.
Whatever.
She stayed there for quite some time, glancing up at me every once in awhile. After a few minutes, I decided to start shooting with her in the frame.
Modern society.

January 3, 2023: Today’s prompt from @rachelastorauthor’s @dailyom program, WRITING TO UNCOVER THE AUTHENTIC SELF, asks: “Can you reframe the most pressing #obstacle as a to-do list? In other words, in order to overcome this, what do you need to learn? What tasks do you need to perform? Who do you need to convince?”
I believe I can reframe each of the 4 obstacles I explored over the past few days into more manageable #tasks. But at the same time I know I need to be very consistent at doing this.
For example, I was up past 3am today completing a few loads of #laundry (this included putting the #clothes away after taking them out of the #dryer), a load of #dishes, & also filling up half a #blue #recycling cart from @thecityofsurrey with #recycling from Mum’s garage.
But I still woke to criticism, as my dog looked for the right spot to leap off my bed at the guest room of my Mum’s to head outside at just after 9am. “Your room is a filthy disgrace,” are the words my Mum barked at me today. “And you live like you like it!” It’s odd how her words echo the ones my monkey mind is already so gifted at hurling towards myself.
When we argue & she says things like this, I snap back, “I don’t need you telling me how useless I am because I’m well aware of it already!” As such, both my Mum & my monkey mind are the ones I need to #convince that I am capable of up this mess I’ve created.
I finished my night around 4am taking this selfie inspired by a chapter in @mattzhaig’s book, NOTES ON A NERVOUS PLANET. Specifically, he says: “So this is the attitude to #sleep: something to be suspicious of because it is a time when we are not plugged in, consuming, paying. And this is also our attitude to time: something that mustn’t be wasted simply by resting, being, sleeping. We are ruled by the clock. By the light bulb. By the glowing smartphone. By the insatiable feeling we are encouraged to have. The feeling of this is never enough. Our happiness is just around the corner. A single purchase, or interaction, or click, away. Waiting, glowing, like the light at the end of a tunnel we can never quite reach…. Something has to give.”
This is day 3/365 in my #subverted #selfie #project.

(July 6, 2010) Art imitates life, or perhaps we're seeing Sandy's inner thoughts, contemplating her navel or her inner wino. And perhaps we'll never know.
Have you ever imagined how much time we waste in a day, looking at our Smartphone screen? If you say 2 hours or something, you need to recalculate it, and, this time, more accurately. Let’s face it: we all are in an era, where every person is busy with their phones, half of the time. And the b...
Aren’t they perfectly named as cellphones?
Type yes if you agree.
