2014 National Geographic Photography Contest Winner is...

...not me!!

Photo of Woman Glued to Her Phone Wins the 2014 National Geographic Photo Contest

But, it was taken by a guy who I used to sit next to in English class senior year - a yearbook photographer from my HS class and a great friend of my brother. Too cool.

There's an inside story behind this photo and many other of Brian's shots that I'm not quite at liberty to tell in the open, so if you are ever in the position to buy me a beer...

Inquiring minds want to know!

My doctor does not let me drink beer anymore.

Great Photo and it was not taken by a DSLR . I downloaded the JPEG from the interview he had with NG and the EXIF is still intact. He used a Sony RX100. I have been on the train in HK and it really is not all that different from here at home. Some people staring at their phone, people sleeping, reading or just sitting/standing and looking around.

If you look at some of his other photos, which are great, he uses a mixed bag of cameras. His main DSLR seems to be a Canon 1D.
