This simple photo is a fascinating portrait of what smartphone cameras have done to our culture. A single woman is seen enjoying the moment with just her eyes while a sea of smartphone cameras surrounds her.

The photo has been going viral over the past week, and this lady is now an Internet sensation.





After being published by the Boston Globe last week, the photo was spotted and shared on Twitter by developer Wayne Dahlberg:

The photo was quickly retweeted over 12,000 times and has since been shared all over the Web. Here’s what people had to say about this “radical” woman:

@waynedahlberg someone who knows how to be present and enjoy the moment. — Brent Jensen (@BrentDJensen) September 26, 2015

@waynedahlberg @jabberworks I love her. No cell phone. No camera. No piece of paper and Sharpie pen. Just soaking in the experience. — Jenn Bower (@JennBower) September 26, 2015

Of course, there were some skeptics as well:
