Personally I live for today and not yesterday. If there is a piece of technology that gives away the time frame of a picture than so be it. I am pretty sure HCB, Winogrand, Weegee, and among many others would likely agree. If they were to think that hard about it they would never shoot on the street as signs, clothes, hairstyles, and etc would instantly date the picture. Roy, understandable and I respect your opinions.

Jason, this is a wonderful image (regardless of cell phone), it has a certain "noir-esque" feel to it. Agree.

Does anyone seriously believe HCB or any other one of the greats would have had a problem with that today? Get real. Nice shot. Moody light. Love that the shadow casts the word "Central Square" onto the ground. Who cares about the cell phone.

Nice shot. Moody light. Love that the shadow casts the word “Central Square” onto the ground.

For me, it instantly dates it and makes it an image about that technology. I know a 20 something kid would see things differently. Cell phones and the other modern gadgets take the 'timelessness' out of photographs, which I believe is what makes the greatest photographs great.
