Great observation of modern life! Did the guy mind you snapping away? I have a mobile (cell) phone and hardly ever have it turned on (if I can remember how) but everyone seems transfixed by them, whatever did we do before their invention, oh that’s right we talked! LoL
Haha! I do use my cell phone a lot for taking snaps – kind of a photo-sketchpad. But these shots I took with from a distance with my 280mm zoom. So he wasn’t aware – but I figger that anyone out in public space is fair game as long as I am sensitive about it. I don’t think he would mind these shots, since he perched himself on a very unique piece of furniture located along in a very touristy area.
Fun images. The orange chair really pops. The first image could be the start of a larger series … people on their phones … should be easy to find many, many examples! I think it is a shame so many people are addicted to them and social media!

Thanks Denise! I totally agree – people on their phones! Here’s another one I took a while ago … https://michaelhoffmannphotography.com/2017/03/25/nature-walk/ Although I’m guilty too, though I use it a lot as a photo-sketchpad.
