I used to be a pretty hard-core iPhone fan. But over time, I grew more and more frustrated with the lousy service on AT&T. My iPhone simply could not reliably make and hold a phone call.

I would say the decisive moment in that case was the moment in which I saw this thing and decided I wanted to photograph it.
