Photographer reveals people staring at phones. The Death of Conversation or is it evolution?

In his tribute, titled "The Death of Conversation," Babycakes Romero displays images of people sucked into their devices.  In his own words, "I don’t have a problem with portable tech specifically, because our devices facilitate our lives, but I believe it is making people seriously dull…"

Romero is a London based photographer and had recently become fascinated with images of people on their phones.  "There was a certain symmetry" to the images and as he took more he noticed "inherent sadness."

His message remains positive.  "Most people used to use cigarettes as a social prop. Admittedly, they’re bad for your health, but at least they didn’t turn people into ‘plugged in’ bores. Together we must be strong and release ourselves from the shackles of smartphones and bring face-to-face chat back!"
