That New-Fangled Technology
Inside Their World is the photo series that follows the lives of some of the returned families at the Yearning for Zion ranch.
On July 17 and 18, the photographer Stephanie Sinclair was allowed to visit the Yearning for Zion Ranch near Eldorado, Tex., and given rare access to the members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or F.L.D.S., who live there.
One of the photos is better than all the rest combined.
“Harold Black Jr., 22, Levi Steed, 15, Guy Jessop, 48, and Jacob Johnson, 30 (left to right), check their cellphones in front of Jacob’s house.”
Since when does a group of three or more men come together in a circle to “check their cellphones”? Perhaps, instead they were erasing vital information, like, I don’t know, the birth dates of their youngest wives.
Or maybe I’m too cynical. This could merely be a “what exactly do these things do again?” meeting.
