Photographer’s Notes
• I live on a lake near a public dock. When it’s quiet, all manner of interesting things occur there. Once after a particularly wild, late-night party, we had articles of clothing wash ashore for several days. But I digress.
• Today, this couple was alone with themselves and I noticed the cell phone. “Ah, today’s youth,” I thought! So I took a couple of candid shots and picked one to enter. I was going to title it after a line in the old song, “See you in September” … possibly “Will I Lose You to a Summer Love?” But then I thought about the cell phone and wondered, who is she talking to? Why now? And why is he smiling?
• Next I thought about titling it "Phone Sex" but wondered if it would turn some voters off.
• Since the phone is a Motorola RAZR, I finally hit on the current title, "RAZR Thin Attention Span." Hope this title means something internationally and that folks will notice it's a RAZR phone.
• Fabares Shelley Lyrics – See You in September
I'll be alone each and every night
While you're away, don't forget to write
Bye-bye, so long, farewell
Bye-bye, so long
See you in September
See you when the summer's through
Here we are (bye, baby, goodbye)
Saying goodbye at the station (bye, baby, goodbye)
Summer vacation (bye, baby bye, baby)
Is taking you away (bye, baby, goodbye)
Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you to a summer love
(counting the days 'til I'll be with you)
(counting the hours and the minutes, too)
Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long)
Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you to a summer love
(I'll be alone each and every night)
(While you're away, don't forget to write)
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
I'm hopin' I'll
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Well, maybe I'll
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
