The image portrays a vision of Earth in a speculative future, desolated and overwhelmed by the remnants of human activity. It is surrounded by the consequences of pollution and neglect.

In this image, I envisioned what modern life might look like if old-style phones were used. They are in place of contemporary smartphones. An intriguing thought, isn’t it?

The combed dog

An example of modern decadence is evident in these photos. A meticulously groomed and styled dog that I spotted a few days ago at the Milan train station caught my attention. While someone paused to pet and dote on the dog, many others appeared visibly surprised.

In my opinion, animals should be treated and allowed to live like animals. However, since it’s not my dog, I’ll simply stick to capturing the scene with my IPhone.

The man with the cell phones

This is a common sight I encounter when travelling by train: people juggling laptops and at least two mobile phones, sometimes even tablets in addition to two or three phones. It greatly amuses me, especially when they seem unsure where to respond or read their messages first.

Another amusing image I took years ago and found in my Lightroom archive: a man sitting at a table with others, trying to fit himself into his laptop screen. Did he succeed?

This is an AI-generated image that I have slightly modified.
It symbolises waste – the excess of abundance present in certain contexts – associated, in this case, with the boredom that appears to be evident in the photo.
