Cell phone technology has come along way from merely being a brick-weighted, hand held communicator in the early 90s. These mobile conveniences, owned by most of the populace, are generally equipped with stellar cameras. The things we can do with our cell phone lenses today are absolutely amazing. What is captured by a cell phone camera can sometimes be a better picture than what is taken with a tricked-out, expensive professional camera.
With these portable camera phones, a picture can be taken at any moment, perhaps even arty images, an art form taking on the “phone-orgraphy” moniker.
To that end, Arts Eye Gallery, an exhibit space nestled inside of Photographic Works at 3550 E. Grant Rd., is showcasing “Phone-ography” images in a juried show from Oct. 22 to Nov. 28.
Having had a chance to look over some of the photos that will be displayed promises for an impressive, artistic and eye-catching show. The idea behind this exhibit is to share what a creative tool the cell phone really can be and is and you don’t have to be a professional to use it.
Opening reception is Oct. 22, 6pm-9pm; the shows until Nov. 28. For more information visit ArtsEye.com or call 325-0260.
