A Relic from the past (Weekend Street/Reflections # 108)

 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A man struggling to see his Alcatel flip phone screen on a bright sunny day. 

Have a great weekend!

Now you can link reflections and/or street photography. 

Please no posed pictures, portraits, animals, etc. unless there is a reflection.

"Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."

Yes, and he's doing it the hard way. Why doesn't he shade the screen instead of his eyes?

Ah, that's dreaded glare!

Of course, Jim has the sensible answer! The photo is such an interesting statement about our times. Despite challenges to viewing the screen the man persists, disregarding the real world around him.
