Photography....

 

The photographs you can get from a cell phone camera sometimes suprise me!

 

That is the main reason I have my Digital Photography students' use their cell phone camera instead of requiring them to purchase a separate digital camera. Although there are some really economical cameras on the market right now. Current technology in cell phone cameras is almost as good, if not better than many point and shoot camera's.

 

Do I have a Digital SLR camera? I wish. Right now, I have a nice camera on my cell phone and an old Pentax k1000 that requires film. Sure, one of these days I would love to purchase a nice fancy digital SLR camera. But for me, like most of my students, the camera on my cell phone gives me more than adequate results.

 

I have learned though, when I go on outtings with my history loving friend Linda, who has a very nice Nikon Digital SLR, I need to bring a car charger for my cell phone. For as I try and capture as many photos as she can, it does have a tendancy to drain the battery of the cell phone.

 

While I have Digital SLR camera envy, economically, it's not the right purchase for now. Maybe during the upcoming holiday sales.
