[SIGCIS-Members] Early mobile phone photography

[Christine Finn]

Hello,

I don't use a smartphone, and low tech is part of my artistic practice out
of choice.

You might find images of interest at www.leavehomestay.com - a project from
2007 - 2013 using a Sony-Eriksson and BlackBerry (non-smart for me, as
camera low-res) and surprising results when enlarged.

On Wayback you might find my early blog about Rome, hosted at Stanford
Humanities Lab from 2005 - 2013, where you'll find many images which I took
on an early Nokia.

best wishes,
Christine
