Early this year, I said Goodbye to the "Lo-Fi Project": a year-long adventure in cell phone photography, playing around with different devices and moods.
My 'weapon of choice' in this regard has been, and still is, my trusty (and crusty) old Blackberry Bold. This vaguely paperweighty object, despite needing an extra wide "extended" battery (held to the back of the device with black gaff tape), and having been dropped, and other things -- kicked, flushed, fogged, moistened, over and undercharged) dozens of times -- remains my baby. Like the 35mm "moojy" it replaced, I rocked 'Triple B' until she bled from exhaustion:
Good pictures, great ones, a whole lotta crap ... Just like loving moments in a human relationship. Sure, me and Triple B struggled sometimes; but in the end, we knew and felt each other ... had each other's backs, and were always up for a little action ;) ;) ;) ;-) !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I've spent the past year or so flirting and dancing (deep-throating) with Google, trying to make my cream rise online ... and have more or less succeeded, with the help of phoneography ...
I have long been interested in visuality. I appreciate architecture, composition ... perspective intrigues me ... I have studied photography, and been snapping and 'scrapbooking' photos for decades. At first, I was appalled at the integration of optic and communication technology: the first cell phone/camera combination repelled me, not only on a 'purist' (though decidedly amateur) photographer level, but on the obvious basis of privacy, also.

Ten years or so later, with privacy teetering on the brink of extinction ... Miley Cyrus now, somehow, exhibiting "artwork" ... and our collective threshold for shame and embarassment lowered, if not erased completely, by crass "reality" with no one caring ...
I see no reason not to play.
