SMARTPHONE PHOTO EXHIBIT

Open Call to Artists (and everyone)

"There's an Exhibit For That"

Juried Smartphone Photography Exhibit

January 4 - 29, 2012

Reception: January 7, 4-7pm

 

There is a saying among photographers: The best camera you have is the one you have with you. And there is no camera more available than the one on your phone.

 

Toss out that Kodak Instamatic, throw away that old 35mm film (Film? What's that?) camera, and you might as well discard that expensive new digital camera you just bought, too, for the Age of iPhoneography has arrived.

 

Whether you have an iPhone a Droid or any other brand of smartphone, this exhibit is for you. Whether you're a professional photographer or just enjoy messing around with your phone, this exhibit is for you.
