Mobile Cameras and the Nature of Snapshots

A fun phone phone shot on Dan Gillmore's weblog, of a workshop group, where everyone is taking a picture of Dan Gillmore, taking a picture of the group. And they are all doing it with camera-phones.

"I'm beginning to understand the difference one of these makes. The camera-phone is a device for snapshots. My "real" camera, which certainly needs upgrading, takes photographs. The lower quality of the camera in the phone is not necessarily a permanent condition, but the one-handed click-and-done way you take pictures may continue to divide the realms to some degree."
