Levels

Keeping your photographs level can be sometimes a challenge. For example this scene has a number of ramps between two buildings. Each one of these ramps slopes at a different angle. The street you enter this arcade from is also on an angle. So how do you find what is horizontal? The answer in this case is: you don’t look for horizontal lines as they are all confusing by design. You need to look at the vertical lines in the shop buildings and align your image to that. Once you do that the horizontals will be right too.

Don’t Peek - Mannequin looking at texting man

The longer I look at this photograph the stronger the impression that the mannequin is reading what this man is texting to someone.

People send SMS messages all the time. Sometimes with little regard for their own privacy. This is especially true on public transport. The MMS (multimedia message) is even less private, especially if the recipient decides to play it back at full blast on a carriage full of people.

Payphone

Payphone

Everyone I know owns a mobile phone. So, who is using pay phones these days?

I hate to bring stereotypes, but a young, Asian girls are renowned for their mobile phones and texting non-stop. This makes this scene even more curious.
