The Death Of Street Photography (Or The Birth Of The Phone Zombie)

Street photography (for me) is it seems, close to done.

The phone killed it.

I am not saying the phone replaced the camera, which would simply be a change of tools, but the phone replaced people interacting with their world.

Seems we cannot function now without them.

See what happens when you take their phones away? Total zombie land?

Some escape, going back to the things that came before.

Some seek companionship.

Or actually know where they are going and just go there, both hands full.

No wonder I am taking photos with no people in them.

Photos that could have come from a time before.
