mobile tech

I use an N95 as my mobile phone. As a reseach project we decided to design a test that involved the iphone and the n95 comparing picture quality. Results can be found in this link. 

The rise of mobile phones and the technology has equipped many individuals with not only a portable communicative device but rather a multimedia production facility. 

With the rise of these technological capabilities has come the concept of the flattening of a photograph, the loss of meaning and signiifcance of once was considered a sacred piece of family or personal history.. With the rise of digital photographs and the use of mobile phones, there no sense of wasting a photo or money with that photo, as people can just store these photos in a small file on the computer rather than use and develop the film they where once printed on. 

The fact is that instead of having 12,24, or 36 shots on a film you can now store 1000's of photos on  memory cards the size of two finger nails.. This has definately made a songle photograph less significant, you may be able to produce more photos hence capture more images but this will only take away from the really special images amongst the other photos taken for the sake of it.
