Working under the open sky in a building with no roof, I watched as this carpenter worked diligently. I took this with my iPhone. Once I brought out a camera, the innocence of a working carpenter was transformed into a posing, smiling, conversation… not all bad, but the camera changes everything. The iPhone is so pedestrian… that it is nearly invisible.
