...but now I just take pictures.
Mostly with my cell phone.
I've created this site just to see what my "visual Language" is.
Every photographer has his/her own visual language. It's what they say with their photography. It's also how they say it. They choose the color pallet, the angle of view, the depth of field, the composition, the quality of light.
This is mine. I've excluded captions so that anyone viewing it can judge the photographs on their visual merit alone. Please leave your comments, criticisms, or musings.
I used to use all sorts of film cameras. I've photographed with 35mm, and 6x6 medium format cameras. I've used disposable cameras, and 8x10 inch view cameras. I've used Instamatic cameras and Polaroid cameras. I've even used pinhole cameras made out of empty oatmeal boxes.
But none of them have been as much fun as my LG VX8350 cell phone, and my Kodak ZD810 SLR.
I'd love a new Nikon D80 since I already have lenses that would fit it, but that just isn't in the budget.
So off I go, happily shooting with my phone.
Please try to guess which shots were done with the cell phone, and which ones were done with the Kodak digital camera.
Leave your guesses in the comment section after each photograph. Try to do it by just looking at the photograph on the blog.
Try not to check them in a photo editing program, or count pixels. Just guess from the visuals which images are from the phone, and which images are done with the camera.
I'll let you know if you're right or wrong.
None of the photographs have been manipulated or cropped in any way. So, scroll through them, critique them, enjoy them, and please pass the link on to others who are interested in photography.
It will help me a lot.
Thanks.

UPDATE:
I finally got a Nikon D90. None of these photos are taken with that camera.
