smartphones in the caribbean

On Saturday Addie and I went straight from Sarasota, Florida to Miami, Florida where we got on a boat.

A cruise ship to be more specific.

The super enormous Carnival Breeze to be incredibly specific.

We’re currently a few hundred miles away from St. Thomas, USVI and this post has already cost $6.50 in satellite Internet.

What am I doing on a boat? Well this super hip ad agency had the idea to bring 10 people and their smartphones on the boat to track moments as they happen on the ship.

We’ve all seen stock photography, the happy family having SO! MUCH! FUN! This on the other hand is real, these photos are our real families doing real things on a real cruise. No models, no art directors, no hair and makeup, no stylists.

My mom’s here too. (Say hi mom!) The moment I walked into our stateroom she said “You’re pretty small potatoes compared to everyone else here.”

Thanks mom.

If we’re going by followers I am 10 of 10 by a long shot. I am shooting with some wicked talented people, but I feel as though I’m holding my own. (I’m also the only Android.)

Comparison is the thief of joy, and right now I don’t want any of this joy thieved.

I’m currently sitting in a bar, the karaoke has started and people are becoming a lot more fun with their fruity beverages as I fade into tired oblivion.

There was a lot of water sliding done today.

If you’re interested, you can follow most of my photos right here, or you can see my favorites on my personal account.

A special thanks to Carnival for having us on their ship. Travel expenses have been covered for my family and me, all opinions are my own.
