Why your phone is not your friend – Japan Camera Hunter

Photography is a powerful form of meditation. When doing it right. Most photographers will attest to this phenomena – all peripheral thought and vision is dispensed with in the quest for the perfect shot. This can be a fleeting moment or can last for hours. That is one of the reasons why our craft is so enjoyable. This article claims that our increasing reliance on smartphones as our primary camera and on its inherent nature to distract our attention and hinder concentration – photographic results will inevitably suffer. I find the article clumsily written and contradictory in places – but do you agree or disagree with the basic premise?  #photogs #photog #iphoneography #iphonography
