1.3: Images from My Phone

During a trip in 2007, Joel Grey found himself in a small museum, filled with objects that he wanted to capture. Without his camera, he opted for the next best thing - his mobile. He had never had any use for the camera function on his Nokia 133 before but, to his surprise, found the same familiar perspectives and joy in taking pictures as always. The limitations of the format, such as aperture control and focus proved a thrilling new challenge. He spent the next eight months working with his phone to create a collection of diverse, gritty and reflective visual work.
