Article link: http://notable.ca/a-photographer-is-removing-phones-from-his-images-to-show-how-addicted-we-are/ I thought this was a really clever project, and one that people should look at and pay attention to. I think it was smart to take the pictures with multiple people in the shot, all on phones or ipads, because it shows how the technology replaces the moments they could be sharing together. The photos I posted above were the ones that I thought to be the strongest because Pickersgill captured moments that really shouldn't involve people looking at their individual devices--a wedding day, a family dinner, a boat-ride, and a play-date with three little boys (or maybe they're brothers). These are times that people should be interacting, enjoying each other's company. The black and white also makes it seem like the photos were old-fashioned, when phones didn't exist, leaving their hands empty and showing how unnatural it is for people to be so cut off like that.
