Can You Spot Who Makes This Pic So Awesome That We Can All Learn From It?

There’s one person in this crowd of moviegoers who’s determined to live life in the moment. Can you find them?
If you guessed that it’s the older woman in the black sweater at the front of the crowd, you’d be right. This photo, taken at the premier of Black Mass in Brookline, Massachusetts by John Blanding, shows a crowd of fans greeting movie stars with their smartphones held high. The woman’s contrasting approach to the moment has earned her heaps of praise after the photo went viral.
Though most of us are guilty of over-reliance on social media to some degree, it’s still a popular subject for artists. This post features work by Babycakes Romero and other artists afraid of what our dependence on technology and social media might mean for us.

The young smiling lady with purple glasses and white hair!
WITHOUT A PHONE
I agree with you Ahmed, she is quite beautiful the way she is.
I said she is beautiful the way she is. This goes for many other people, but that's why I said what I said. I am not specifying which element of her appearance is beautiful.
Some people are younger than her and yet seem older, don't take all things literally...

I wouldn't say young..
the girl wearing cap didn't held any smartphone too
Agreed, she is definitely looking with her eyes, not through a screen. She is enjoying the moment as much as the old lady, but she was ignored for some reason.
She's holding something with her left hand, but in her right hand shes holding a pen, so I think it's a notebook for autoghraphs. Maybe they thought it was a smartphone. Kinda looks like one.
That's because the composition of the photo.
She is definetly not as cute nor contrasting as the elderly lady that for whatever reasons, we all wish she was our grandma right now ;)
What girl with the cap?
Front row in the left corner, the first girl in the row two people before the old lady. White t-shirt and a cap.
By the look and smiles on people's faces they all seem to be enjoying that moment of life while also getting the enjoyment of taking pictures and preserving the moment. Those pictures can also be enjoyed later and the happy experience can be shared with friends and other people who were not there. (Hey, I am a photographer and enjoy living and keeping memories of special moments of life .) Who knows. The nice lady with glasses is perhaps by with her son next to her, who is focusing on the phone, reviewing the photos. In my view there's nothing alienating about taking pictures of movie stars.
