from blow up to Nokia N93...

Entering into the Photographer's Gallery, so eager to see the Antonioni's Blow-up photo exhibition..but turned out to be a disappointing one...

what 's more surprised me was another small scaled exhibition located at the main entrance." In-Focus" featured around 10-20 digital photographs which were taken by the passengers /amateur with their phone cameras during the "7 july terrorist bombing " in UK.

Although the resolution of the photograph was low and might not be consider as" professional journalist photography " but the impact was very strong cos those photographers were also the survivors of the bomb attack. They were not observing (like what journalist did) but experiencing the event at the same time...i were struck by the terror revealed from the photographs... cos they were so "close" to the event..felt like u were expereincing the same with them...
there are other topics that worth to discuss like "citizen vs professional journalist photography"" the impact of phone camera to photography"... etcetc...
so good to see an inspiring exhibition which is free to public...

as the simply" dial out/ receive call/text msg/alarm clock/calendar"mobile phone user,i dun understand y ppl like to change their mobile phone so often..i will buy a new one until it;s broken and dun think i can utilize the function...
