Camera Phone

We take it every where and it gives us the ability of making pictures anywhere, of course that was also true to the film camera era but now you take it literally every where. We used to take up a camera upon some sort of special event, graduation, birthday, wedding, accidents etc... now one has his phone+camera every day. A friend showed me a sunset picture he made with his phone while at work, he is not a photographer or in the hobby and probably this occasion wouldn't get it's "photographic state" if it hadn't been for his camera phone. This makes this documenting format interesting to me, people make pictures (with all sorts of pic quality) of their environment , of things they wouldn't pick up a camera for few years ago. This causes people to constantly define (knowingly or not) their connection to their environment with their photographs.
The camera depicts mechanically and precisely, people usually make picture upon their impression of things and this impression will inevitably change, not so for the picture, sooner or later people are going to notice details that escaped their sight/consciousness each discovery like this will teach them how to see differently.

i love the low quality, there is something romantic about it in the case of your beautiful photographs, but maybe i'm not the most objective observer :)
