Laconic
Payphones are Endangered Devices in the fast lane to extinction. Hybrid, multi-functional and constantly evolving Smart Phones have become our communication tools. Many of us spend hours each day on our smartphones; talking, texting, twitting, emailing...
Photography is a laconic way to communicate. A picture is worth a thousand words, especially when the message conveyed is clear, powerful and timeless. [I know, this photo is not]
While technology has made communication much easier, it also has created an information gluttony. So much is said yet there is so little substance. It has become very difficult to identify and isolate things that are substantial. Every new generation of Smart Phone, every innovative means of communication is bound to create greater Information Overload. Our sanity in the Information Age is going to depend on our ability to keep it balanced and simple.
- Simplicity without a name, is free from all external aim.
- With no desire, at rest and still, all things go right as of their will.
- -- Tao Te Ching (James Legge translation)
