Babycakes Romero

This has got to be every chiropractor's worst nightmare.

Yes, his name is Babycakes Romero. He's a London based photographer who doesn't own a smartphone but walks around the city documenting people oblivious to those around them, choosing instead to interact with their phone. I do understand the statement he's making, that we spend entirely too much time consumed with our phones and other technology, often losing touch with those right by us. Conversely, remember he's only caught a moment in time. These people could have been quickly checking for the latest game score (like in the top image), looking for directions (in the middle image), but they could also be ignoring their dining companion (lower image). It's an interesting group of work that certainly says something about us as a social society. 

Really great street photography can be seen at
