Phoneography is the art of creating photos with mobile
phones. It is a style of digital
photography in which images are shot, processed and often shared directly from
a mobile cellular device. The images on this page represent decades of experimentation
with digital mediums, which are after all, simply additional artist tools, no
more mysterious or controversial than brushes, charcoal and lead pencils. Technology
is assistive to the speed of ideas, enabling the user to record, review, and
edit visual and written marks almost instantly. The “artist’s hand’ is as
evident and manifest in digital imagery as it ever was. Gesture exists
inherently in code, in cypher, and in pixel. Touch screen technology has alleviated
many of the historical barriers to the artist’s mind to page obstacles.
