Texting By Osmosis by stray_shooter

Texting By Osmosis

My entry for the current street challenge, something I'm aiming to do more of this year. This guy caught my eye as he seemed to have nodded off right in the middle of whatever he was doing with the phone. The way the thumbs are positioned it sure seems he was texting.
methinks the lady is not amused with you. but i am rather amused by your capture. again, aces!

What a great candid street shot! One person giving you the eye - definitely not happy- and the other completely unaware! Great contrasts! How funny he should nod off while texting!

Classic title! I seldom have the chutspa to jump in for the grab shot! This is certainly "a day in the life" photo!

Ha ha brilliant

What a shot

A sign of the times...

Well spotted a great candid street image Ron, I'm surprised someone has not relieved him of his mobile by now and sold it on Ebay:)

Great candid shot but kind of sad to me. I get the impression he may be on his way to becoming another heroin casualty.

Probably dreaming of cake

Nice capture. It looks to me like they are sharing a table if not the same world.

Haha! Very brave of you. I do that at the computer sometimes ;) Great street capture.

@summerfield @pamknowler Thank you muchly, ladies. I didn't really notice her when I took the shot, but afterwards just had to keep her in there with that scowl. Kind of adds to the fun of the shot, yes?

@Weezilou Thanks Louise. It's a "learned behavior" that allows me to say, screw it, I'm taking your picture. I've never really been challenged.....except for a very irate lady in China. Must tell you about that some time.

@onewing @joannakate @domenicododaro @louannwarren Thanks so much to you all. Happy to share the fun with my 365 friends!

@pcoulson Good point Peter! Ah, but this was taken in Huntington Beach, where crime is virtually nonexistent........not! Tongue is firmly in cheek!

@joysfocus You could be right, Joy. It doesn't seem likely that he's enjoying a day off from the ol' grind, does it?

@yorkshirekiwi Good point! Looks like he did finish off an ice cream there. Probably just a post meal nap.

@mbrutus Hey, Marshall, good to hear from you. A perceptive comment. I'm not sure they were together, but yet they do seem to be in a certain sense for sure.

@bella_ss I used to travel to Europe for work with a coworker who just couldn't make the time adjustment and he would routinely fall asleep at his computer, with fingers on the keyboard. His documents always seemed to come out with long strings of D's and K's. Thanks for the feedback Sheralee.

great candid.....now I have fallen asleep with my hands on my laptop keyboard, but never in the street!
