2026 LAPC #391 — Phone Photography through the Years.

“For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn’t the art of photography but I don’t agree.”

— Annie Lennox

When I first started taking photos a long time ago, there were no cell phones and I used several different cameras varying from Instamatic cameras, cartridge cameras like Kodak or Fuji. Then in high school I bought my first 35 mm camera.

Since I first obtained a cell phone, I would take pictures with whichever phone I had at the moment. My first phone was a Motorola android, I have since progressed to an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

“The best camera is the one that’s with you.”

— Often attributed to Chase Jarvis

Regardless of whether you have your camera with you or only your phone with a camera; don’t hesitate to capture the fleeting moments. You’ll cherish them forever.
