Photographer removes our smartphones to show our strange and lonely new world

[kagalingan]

Paano yan ako hindi ko talaga feel smartphone kahit nakabili na natetengga lang. (nagagamit ko lang to take pictures ng price and expiration para alam ko kung kelan ako didiskarte sa landers. )

Ang daming tsikoteers na ganito sa photo.

Photographer removes our smartphones to show our strange and lonely new world
By Steve MollmanAugust 28, 2019



Are you reading this on a handheld device? There’s a good chance you are. Now imagine how’d you look if that device suddenly disappeared. Lonely? Slightly crazy? Perhaps next to a person being ignored? As we are sucked in ever more by the screens we carry around, even in the company of friends and family, the hunched pose of the phone-absorbed seems increasingly normal.

US photographer Eric Pickersgill has created “Removed,” a series of photos to remind us of how strange that pose actually is. In each portrait, electronic devices have been “edited out” (removed before the photo was taken, from people who’d been using them) so that people stare at their hands, or the empty space between their hands, often ignoring beautiful surroundings or opportunities for human connection. The results are a bit sad and eerie—and a reminder, perhaps, to put our phones away.

Clarification: This story has been updated, and the headline has been changed to make clear the phones were removed before each photo, not edited out later.
