Phonecam Pics, New York, April 2004

My digicam is a bit too large to hide in a pocket, and I didn't want to bother walking around New York looking like a tourist with a camera strung around my neck. The solution was the phonecam in my little Sony T-610. The images are low res, and the light response is pretty bad, but what you end up with, if you're lucky, are some artistic-looking shots that have a gritty, dystopic, Gibson-esque feel. Plus it feels kinda James Bond-ish to zip the thing, take a couple of quick shots and slide the thing back in the inside jacket pocket... Some shots of Times Square at night.     Cecilie in the Natural History Museum. Geek and a Quasar. My cousin John and his bass player Steve, jamming out in their underground studio in Queens. General Assembly of the United Nations. Architecture at the Sutton Place Synagogue. City of Light. Apples in Stereo show, in Brooklyn. Two shots inside the New York Public Library.   Central Post Office exterior. Central Post Office interior. I don't know where this is, but it looks kinda cool, with the shadowy figures and light arrays. Ground floor installation at the Guggenheim. Guggenheim interior architecture. Installation at the Guggenheim. The parallax error of the crummy lens in the phonecam makes an interesting shot. Back to the index page
