What does mobile photography mean to you?

I have always been passionate about photography, but to me it always seemed so intimidating. To create the kinds of images that I loved and admired, I felt like I would need better equipment, better editing tools, and not to mention twice as many hours in a day… with a growing family underfoot, it just didn’t seem like all that was within my reach. Mobile photography was a huge game-changer for me! I could easily snap a photo with my phone, no fancy gear required. Instead of feeling like I needed to spend hours learning editing tricks, with PicTapGo I was able to intuitively adjust my image to achieve the look I wanted. I’ve been able to develop my eye, play with light, and most of all “meet” and interact with photographers I have admired for years. And all during nap time!
