Everybody's always on their device
Sea Wall. Praia Grande, Portugal
The mobile device sure has put the post card industry to sleep. Everyone is a photographer now. It's amazing that traveling during the past three or four years, I find everyone is on their mobile device, no matter where they are. Everyone is proclaiming "I am here" with an ubiquitous selfie. I've always felt that I lived much of the places where I've traveled through a camera view finder or behind the ground glass of a view camera. The phenomenon of the mobile device camera goes way past what I imagined twenty years ago, that the future of photography might be. And yes, I use an iPhone to capture images as well.
