The Camera we always have?

For most of us we all have our cell phones with us every where we go. I know I do, yet when it comes time to take a photo do we really understand how and when we should use our cell phone to do it?

I know I try and take as many photos as I can with my cell phone, why? Well why not it is there! Another tool to use to document life. I have made it a requirement to use it. Does it take the best photos, no not really, but a little photoshop can help with that. Yes I know photoshop is like cheating, well so was the dark room like cheating too so get off of it.

So here is a shot from the parking lot of my son’s school one morning.

And again a couple of days later around the same time of day.

Both of these were taken with my phone, and a little help with photoshop. Are they great, no not really, but they served their purpose for me at the moment. Would I use the phone to do a wedding, probably not, but then again if some one said “hey do my wedding photos, but only use your phone”. I just might take them up on that offer.

So what is the point I’m trying to make? Well I guess I’m saying pull that phone out every now and then and take a good photo, think about composition and what you can do with the photo afterwards in photoshop. Or just go buck wild and use the photos in the buff.
