People Watching: Can You Hear Me Now?

This would be my second entry to the series PEOPLE WATCHING. I am a big fan of people watching. I find human beings fascinating and part of street photography is snapping people in their daily activity.

I like the contrast in your last picture. A woman in traditional Indian clothes (a sari) has embraced technology by using a smartphone. heh

i love these photos! i'm usually hesitant to take photos of strangers on the street. but i would really, really love to do it! the grimacing woman is my favorite. candid shots are the best.:p

The ubiquitous cell phone and an arm raised to place a phone to the ear is such a compelling and common sight these days. Fine street shots with a nice variety of people and expressions. Well done.

Don't you wonder what we did before cell phones, let alone iPhones, Maria! Astrid and I were just talking about iPhones this morning and afll the apps you can now get for them. Will some people even need cameras anymore?
