I wonder how many people remember life without the bloody things….lol! I know I do.
Great shot Paul, love all of your work ;)

I remember!
Making up excuses not to get home on time, lying about where i was and where i was going! LOL!
They were a couple of the best things about pre-mobile days!
Now, we are almost completely accountable, kind of takes some of the risks out of life :( !
Thanks LittleHelen!! :D

Yes! We got away with so much more Ha!

Bah….I just switch mine off or don’t answer it. In the old days…lol….you would generally go visit someone if you could’nt get them on the phone…..now if people can’t reach you on the phone, they just don’t bother….rude!

No problem, take care ;)

haha i had to double take because he looks EXACTLY, right down to the hooded eyelids, hairdo and lip shape, like my friend Grant. Brilliant.

Maybe he is!
Say g’day for me!!:D
Thanks Melissa!

He is casting early votes for Australian Idol…

This is a great photo. He looks as puzzled as I do when I am trying to text. You captured a moment that is univeral to us all! Great shot.

Hello Chris!
I’m not a huge fan of that particular show but my Fiance’ (Anna) has had me watching it lately.
It’s at the audition stages and the calibre of people that are auditioning is freaky.
From good to completely off the planet!
At the moment Anna sits there for the hour and repeats this phrase at least 50 times….
Are people for real?
LoL!

Thank you Susan for your kind and generous comments! :D

i dropped mine and broke it yesterday! arrrrgh! what to do?
this is a great shot and very well titled ; )

; ) no winks allowed!

so i’ll smile = )

Don’t replace it regina!!
LOL! See if you can go without!!
...Ok, I’m being silly now! Go out and get one with GPS and an mp3 player! :D
Thank you!!

Great shot Paul Louis;)
, and I can relate…they keep making them smaller, I can’t see what I’m doing and my fingernails slide off the buttons!

LOL!!
I’ve got a different prob… I’ve got fat fingers so i keep pressing two keys at once!! :D
Thanks Shanina!! :D

Cool shot! To me it says “Grrr… I hate the world! But I can’t get by without my mobile”.

LOL! Thanks heaps Cathleen!

LOL!! Thank you very kindly jean-michel! :D

i’d recognize that mug anywhere, quick take that phone away from him! where was that taken? loving your work, very extensive, and it’s obvious you’re doing more than just going ‘click’, keep it up!

That’s so funny – I saw this guy at my friend’s birthday in the Botanic Gardens, your friend?

I’m not a fan either… of mobile phones, that is… your work is excellent! :-)

Thanks so very much bombable, boudidesign (No, just someone I met at the Sydney Rd Festival) and Jennifer! :D

I sense a little irony that he’s such an individual and full of self expression, uniqueness, and such, but then that phone… kind of makes him just like everyone else. I like this image a lot.

Great point of view! Thanks blackjack! :D

Looks a bit like Tim Minchin! Cool Image!

Thanks heaps Kiwiana! :D

Great shot Paul

Thank you kindly Rosina! :D

brilliant finish, great capture Paul

Thanks heaps Kathryn! :D

Looks like Joe Dirt

Its an honest photo… He looks like he’s concentrating so hard. But what I love is his hair!!! And the tatts on the guy next to him… they’re amazing. All insects and critters! Awesome!!

Thanks heaps coptrop and georgiegirl! :D

This just made my day…I think of how many great REAL conversations, board meetings… all ‘interrupted’ and any positive moment lost by some innane ‘hilarious’ ringtone and then being subjected to an equally more vaccuous ‘chat’ that could have waited… Don’t get me started about phones in supermarkets or dept stores… Hangon… BRB my mobile is ringing….

LOL!! Thanks heaps Peter! :D
