Telephone Lines

53 images Created 7 Apr 2017

As a component of larger Street Photography work, the use of (smart)phones in the wider world proves a love of constant, portable contact with our personal and professional networks - symbolising our hunger of the always, the everywhere and the immediate.

Eating into every moment of our conscience hours, the telephone, as seen on the street, is an extension of our limb and brain.

These pictures (from 1994 to present) record a generation whose minds are wholly synchronised with the signal from a transmitting mast, while on the go.

  • Three young men are seen from a very low angle as they make arrangements with other friends to meet at the Spring Feria in Seville, Spain. Beneath dozens of colourful lights which hang from cables above their heads, two stand holding drinks while the third speaks into his mobile phone. They are all impeccably dressed in smart jackets and tasteful ties with one owning a carnation in his lapel. It is a lively event that Seville holds annually in the vast fairground area on the far bank of the Guadalquivir River. Rows of temporary marquee tents, or casetas, host families, corporations and friends into the late hours during the April Fair which begins begins two weeks after the Semana Santa, or Easter Holy Week in the Andalusian capital.
