Carmi at the blog "Written, Inc." posts a photographic challenge
each week at Thematic Photographic. This week, the theme is
"Strangers in our midst." Find creative ways to photographic other people. I love it best when a photo of a stranger brings out their basic humanity - in profound or even silly ways.
When I saw this photo, I thought of the title, "The mariachi checks his text messages." These two musicians were taking a break from a Sunday afternoon gig at the busy Redondo Beach Pier. One of them took a moment to check his messages - our everyday interaction with modern technology is an all too common sight these days, even when one is garbed in traditional costume.

You know he's probably the one who does all the booking for the band and the smart phone era has been such a boon for him!
WE GOT THE WEDDING!!!

He's making sure the guy with the keyboard isn't supplanting him.
Great photo, he sure was caught in the act, of what we see far too much of.
If I had been the second man I would have 'brained' him with my instrument!. Like the photo though.
I like the mix of modern technology and tradition.
I like the contradiction between traditional garb and modern technology. Great shot.
