We came across this guy looking totally slick in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. He was essentially sitting in the middle of the street, behind his friend’s coconut-smoothie sidewalk stand. I think it was just his awesomely retro outfit that made me feel like he belonged in my Disconnected photo series of people caught on cell phones in peculiar places. He was flat-out owning the street in those red pants!

I’ve been thinking about this photo for years. It seemed so odd to see this gondolier in Venice talking on his cell phone. Gondoliers are a holdover from another era – one without mobile phones. Ever since I shot this in 2004, I’ve kept eyes peeled for mobile phone anachronisms, times when cells just don’t belong. I call the series Disconnected. More to come.
