Photography / Humorous

"The next time your cell phone rings and you bring it up to your ear, listen closely. You may be able to hear the muted screams of women and girls being raped by greed-crazed, frightened men intent on obtaining a tiny piece of mineral used in your phone. It's called coltan. And the frenzied rush for its extraction in strip mines across the Congo is exploiting children, razing pristine forests, endangering rare mountain gorillas - and has already led to the rape and horrific mutilation of more than 250,000 women as old as 75 and girls as young as three."

I quite enjoy the way this photo turned out. It's my old phone that's still going after five years. Coltan be damned.

Sweet protection plan.

Excellent statement piece, in both expressing the rage and outrage involved in the description of the ugly truth hidden behind a seemingly innocuous piece of technology.

oh the things that happen in the world because of america and her ever quickening fight for profit. . .

nice piece, the phone has great personality in the expression.
