Every once in a while it’s interesting to reflect on how the social web is impacting our lives and ways both big and small. Over the past few months I started to get an influx of enthusiastic reactions to photos I was uploading to Facebook from my mobile phone. At some point I think the figure finally tipped, where my non-New York connections outnumbers my local connections. These random photos, while trivial to my local friends, were a glimpse into the textured world of NYC.
I recently decided to take things a little further and upload a photo set taken with a better camera. The funny thing is, so far I haven’t gotten any reactions. I can almost see why though. There’s a certain spontaneous quality to my mobile pics. The lower resolution and the sometimes random pixelation actually adds to the charm of them. The above photos, while equally as spontaneous somehow don’t feel that way.
Nonetheless, I thought it might be nice to share them with y’all on my blog too. Enjoy.
