Juicing Up: The Essential Ritual of iPhone Recharging

This photo shows an iPhone 6, taken with an iPhone 7, plugged into a wall socket in Sariska, a tiger reserve atop the ancient Aravalli mountain range.

While these iPhones aren’t as ancient as the mountains, they’re already outdated. Nowadays, it’s the iPhone 15 that reigns supreme. Scenes like this remain common as mobile phones and their accessories persist.

In the future, technology may evolve beyond recognition. People might struggle to grasp what’s happening here. Perhaps holograms will replace screens, controlled by gestures or even mind implants. If you’re reading this in such a future, this image might seem alien.

I used to edit photos with VSCO Cam and enjoyed its presets because they helped me convey the emotions I want viewers to experience when they see my pictures. Now, I prefer Adobe Lightroom because I bought presets I can use forever. Still, trying VSCO Cam presets is a good idea. Even their free ones are worth trying.

I explore further into my approach in the “Vision and Mission” section, and though I haven’t changed anything in this photo, please read my “Editorial Disclaimer.”
