Touch! - a (satirical) tribute to cameraphones

"Touch!" is a personal photoproject documenting the current trend of cameraphone usage. This is probably the first phase of the photoproject as the idea came to mind spontaneously - in a university event that sparked a cameraphone bonanza. It is worth collecting more photographs before making any conclusion.

All hail the mighty cameraphones! "Touch!" is the new "Click!". Cameraphones also serve as a solution for left-handed photographers because all you can use either hand to focus, zoom, and snap (not to mention "share"). Bad picture? No problemo. Just sprinkle some special effects (featuring nostalgic lomo-fy and ultra high contrast B&W) to your picture and call it a masterpiece - everybody can be a photographer! Not cool enough? Your camera can now make a phone call and surf the internet.


Traditionally, photography had been a long-waiting process as photographers waited impatiently for their pictures to appear in the chemical bath. But now, the photographic process is getting even longer, as young, serious photographers wait impatiently for comments and likes to appear under their shared photos. Not to mention the tedious post-photographic work such as location and face tagging.

I am also looking for people (photographers or writters, young students or mature family-man) to collaborate in this photoproject. Please leave a comment to express interest. Cheers.
