    Funny pic. I keep hoping to catch a nun fiddling with an iPod.

    Or, conversely, trying to figure out how to do something original using people on their phones or listening to their iPods. Or...We could just recognize that phones and iPods are as much a part of the urban scene as men's hats were prior to the Inauguration of JFK...;-)

    Thanks

    It's something I have to get over. I think I would prefer if everyone wore hats. Laughing.gif

    The upside to this is that if you see something that would nicely contrast with someone talking on a cell phone, you won't have to wait very long to get the shot. rolleyes1.gif

    Yeah well I don't carry one. However with more Phone Booths you'd get more of this
