If not for social networking and these play full photo apps, there would most definitely not be whole albums dedicated to oneself. I can definitely say this about me. I know not everyone turns to the darkside of narcissism, but so many of us do. And the odd thing is, this is the only way to really get pictures of me. When it comes to making work as a photographer I have grown more interested in self as subject, but it is not an easy task. It's still a lot more difficult to get right than "hey I'm going to turn my phone to this angle and try to make myself look good." Its an interesting contrast.
Which portrayal will be the more accurate one? Am I doing myself justice in proper representation by either means? Is anyone? Do these cell phone shots count as self portraits?
So access...does it really make everyone a photographer? Is the 2 minute shot more thoughtful than the 2 hour, 2 day, 2 month shot?
Well here I am jumping on the modern era bandwagon. Bring on the CellF Portraits!
