The Gallery - Mobile Photos

For this weeks The Gallery, Tara has asked us to share photos that we take on our mobile phones.

I have to admit that almost all of the photos I use for The Gallery and my blog have been taken on my mobile. As a matter of fact I expect 95% of the photographs I have of my boys are mobile phone photos! I do own a camera and I enjoy taking photographs with it, but I don't have it to hand as easily as my mobile and nowadays the quality of images captured on a mobile is much better than it used to be.

I think mobile phones allow us to capture our daily lives - whatever we are doing we can photograph it. I am always snapping Burton and Jenson playing, eating, bathing, out and about etc...and as a result I have a brilliant record of their lives. The quality of each photo may not be as good as with a proper camera but I wouldn't have my proper camera with me at the supermarket, at the hairdressers, on the bus, or at the park for example. Plus the photos can be uploaded so easily! In a instant you have an image to share with your family and the world - for example, as soon as you give birth you can be sharing a photo of your new baby with people within minutes of it being born!

A mobile phone is ideal for taking photos when you are on the go and leading a busy mummy life. To me its not about the quality of the photo, but the quantity of memories I capture everytime I use my mobile camera :)

Here are just a few snapshots taken on my mobile - I have thousands infact!

    Me too! Even tho we have a very expensive camera, the iphone apps are so good now and so convenient, it's silly not to use them.  So great to have a picture of the tiny squidgeling so soon after birth. Yum. You've made a middle-aged woman very broody again....

    Oh I love the photo of Jenson. Gunky baby photos are my favourite.
    I also absolutely love the photo on the far left, 3rd one down. One of my favourite photos you've taken.
    I wish I'd of included the photo of Harry at 10ish minutes old now :-( xx

    Yes I was spoilt for choice too as I do most on my phone now just because it's there. Jenson's changed so much since that pic.

    not only I love the photos, but I absolutely love how you collaged them together, how did you do that? I tried on picnik to do the same but failed. Burton under water, Burton on trampoline...that boy is just a little daredevil with a cheeky grin! Love it!
