Having lived in S.E. Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa from 1966 to 1993, I have some small degree of awareness of poverty and deprivation around the world. Nonetheless, among all but the very poorest of the poor, by which I mean persons like those that Nachtwey photographed in The Sudan, smartphones are quite common, even where individuals can't afford them but groups of people or whole villages can afford to share one. I would regard a community which had to pool their funds to buy a smartphone as poor. In such a community there is no hope for an individual who wants to buy a smartphone or camera. Somehow this has twisted from my "1st world" problem/irritation to one of "3rd world" enrichment. I find it hard to imagine that any of these ultra-poor folks are likely to have any "Canon Glass" to use on their smartphones. To my point maybe check out Savageduck's comment in the " Which would more likely drive someone to a phone camera?" thread. Which comment? I replied to RichA twice in that thread, once to his OP, and once to his observation regarding the multitude of phones present at the Royal wedding. ....and I agree. I seriously doubt that a villager in Sudan, or the majority of the population in a country with as good a broadband infrastructure as South Africa, where mobile phone usage is relatively high, have too much Canon glass to attach to their phones. -- Regards, Savageduck |
