Acceptable in the 80s

Year 2 Day 188
Another hipsta candid on the way to get the train home. That phone looks massive to me, like you need a trolley to take it around with you. Maybe she's just very small? Also, don't know how she's in focus and the rest is blurry considering this is a phone shot. Maybe she was moving at exactly the same speed as me but in the opposite direction, therefore cancelling out each others relative momentum...

I am dying laughing. Of course in the 80's this would have been AWESOME. Hey wait did we even have cell phones in the 80's wasn't it more like the 90's..god do you ever feel like you are getting so OLD

Wow. Cool POV! And those lines in the ceiling are very cool.

Good one. Song title and relativistic physics. Result!

@andifree I certainly never saw a mobile (trans: cell) till the 90s, didn't own one till the noughties but whenever I see tv shows about the 80s there's a clip of some yuppie using something like one of those satellite phones that OSB used to have in his videos.

@rich57 Oh I meant OBL.
September 23rd, 2011  
@mastermek Yeah I nearly deleted this cos of the blurry background but those lines appealed to me...
September 23rd, 2011  
i really like this - i like the lines and the way the girl is just in the corner of the shot. almost reads like an advert for cel phones or something.
September 23rd, 2011  
Awesome street shot, love the lines and composition!
September 23rd, 2011  
Lol! That thing is huge! Love the focus!
September 23rd, 2011  
Cool
Remember a mate had a mobile in 1990, battery recharger
September 23rd, 2011  
Was about size of a car battery

@rich57 When did we live at 65 Harters when Si turned up with one? That must've been 80s?
PS great shot - love the action and urban vibe. V different to my life of moss appreciation!

I KNEW you had a time machine!!! Now you canĀ“t deny it!! lol Only you could find this, Rich! lol
September 23rd, 2011  
Yeah I had one that size - 1995 it would have been. Bizarre, perhaps she's into retro phones.
September 23rd, 2011  
@gords it was 1990!
September 23rd, 2011  
awesome capture.... hahahahahahaha on that phone... LOL...

That really does look like a step back in time! What would we have thought "back in the day" if we'd been told we'd have tiny phones and a zillion uses for them besides just talking!
September 24th, 2011  
very cool!
September 24th, 2011  
It looks like a late 80's phone lol love the perspective x
September 25th, 2011  
Cool hip shot Rich
September 25th, 2011  
Love the light on her arm, and how she is in focus and the rest ain't, nicely fluked

September 26th, 2011
