Missing the Point

Posted by Mike Cash (Kiryu, Japan) on 23 May 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

I originally snapped this photo because it has become so rare to observe anyone actually using a public phone in Japan. Seemingly everyone has a cell phone, many people have more than one.

It wasn't until today, a month and a half after I took the photo, that I noticed I had not photographed someone using a public phone. I had photographed someone using a public phone booth.

He's on his cell phone.
