Mobile phone cameras have never really ranked very high with me due to the grainy out of focus effect they give. I am grateful however to have a camera with me at all times - even when I least expected to find a great shot.
This image, taken in Ipswich, was quite exciting to find. As a photographer you are always looking around with fresh eyes and this opportunity came while waiting to cross the street.
The feeling of 'finding' things to shoot on the street is always quite fun but mainly its just junk.
This image was the first indication last year that Autumn was upon us. I remember I was walking to a shoot without a coat and the heavens opened. I couldn't resist taking this shot, the leaf was so perfectly laid out!
I think these 'found' objects work really well because the ground is always going to be a darker shade making them stand out.
This last image is quite comical really as I was taking a shot of the dog's toy when he came and put his paw on it. It was the first time he had seen snow (hence the quite blue cast on the image) so we were trying to dig out all the toys for him.
Again the objects stand out from the dark floor making it quite eye catching.
I quite like this series when its put together on the blog. I think thats the other problem with mobile phone photography, you never quite look at your images as a series or critically as they're locked away on the phone - or maybe thats the beauty?
Let me know wat you think?
