Babycakes Romero is a street photographer dedicated to documenting the world around him. (Picture Courtesy: Babycakes Romero)- Do you think we're better off now that we all have smart-phones or not? How have cellphones impacted your life?
- Perhaps they are still having a conversation via sms, Skype, email. Is this the 'Death of traditional conversation' ?
- None of the photos have been staged and that highlights how we are desperately in need of a social smartphone etiquette.
- But the fact is people are deriving more pleasure from snuggling with their smartphones rather than a real person.
- It is very possible that people could be receiving an urgent message or checking a map on their phone.
- Romero has caught them at a time when they were using their smartphone rather than interacting with each other.
- People walking around parks, in shopping centers, at restaurants and at social events all have one thing in common.
- The photo aptly captures people connection with their digital devices rather than with each other.
- His project on 'Death of Conversation' exhibits how technology has taken over our lives, especially to the point where we have forgotten how to connect with others.
