Simon Tay I started making photos with my mobile phone a few years ago. I was very reluctant to move on to a Digital SLR camera, I’ve thought that I should practice with my mobile phone until I’m “good enough to make a proper exposure” and then shoot with film. I have been experimenting with many old style photography techniques that were used from as early as 1839.. I like to capture the ordinary moments in the everyday life. http://5iftysf.tumblr.com
