There’s something different about this photo…
This photo is of a group of spectators at the premiere of Johnny Depp’s new movie that’s going viral.
The reason? It shows the stark contrast between a person who is living in the moment and other people who live out their memories via their smartphones.
While everyone around her has their smartphones out in a desperate attempt to snap a pixilated image of the left side of Johnny Depp’s face, the woman behind the barricade is the only one actually embracing what is happening in front of her.
The photo received a huge amount of attention after a Twitter user uploaded it with the caption “this is my new favorite photo of all time”.

Yep that grandmother could be me......I haven't moved into the 'smart phone' era yet - I have a mobile that will text and ring but nothing more & that's all I want because having internet access every minute of the day distracts you from life! Hubby and I still have to 'get onto the laptop' to use the internet - I like it that way because it's a bit of an effort. Last concert we went to we used this old fashioned invention called a CAMERA - we were definitely out of place haha.
Just to let you all know I'm in my late 30's......I hate to be 'late' anything but I have to face it haha!!
I will sometimes pull out my phone and take a few snaps, but what's wrong with that? I take thousands of photos of my children, it's fun to look back at memories! I don't like it when people spend the whole time taking photos though...!
