Slave To Technology - a photo on Flickriver

            © Leanne Boulton, All Rights Reserved

Street candid taken in Glasgow, Scotland.

Technology becomes our master and we become its slave. I spotted the composition of these three mobile phone users but it took a widescreen 16:9 crop to really bring out the composition as I had envisioned. Personally I think it is a sad state of living when we spend so much time staring at screens instead of the world around us, thankfully my main subject has looked up away from the screen for a brief moment.

Taken in: United Kingdom / Scotland / Glasgow / Queen Street 1 (show map)
