A lot of my pictures on Flickr (thus far) have been taken on my camera phone. Originally a Nokia 7650 (VGA), then a Nokia 6260 (also VGA), then a Nokia N70 (2mp), then a Nokia N73 (3mp), now I shoot with a Nokia N95 (5mp!!). Whilst I love my SLR (a Pentax *ist DL2) and compact digital (Canon A710 IS) I love the immediacy of picture phones. Somehow the pictures are more disposable. In the same way perhaps people love Lomography I love 'Nokiography', - which I guess makes me a Nokiographer?

The beauty of camera phones is the ability to capture the moment in times when you wouldn't ordinarily carry a proper camera. My latest camera phone now has a greater resolution than my first ever digital camera (Sony DSC-P1) and it's half the size and a fraction of the cost, technology moves fast!

When I'm not messing about with camera phones I'm a User Experience designer working in London. I'm a snowboarder, I run (occasionally), during the summer I try to fit in a bit of windsurfing and I've just learnt to Kitesurf (sort of). In 2005 I completed my MSc and created a project entitled 'The Virtual Teleportr'. I also like to travel and see the world. A lot of my most recent images are from trips away, I still have quite a few old photos from travelling that pre-date the digital revolution.

Like most people having discovered Flickr it's totally consumed me. Flickr is now my online photo album, everything I've done and I do is uploaded here. It's fantastic to have all these memories on tap. I also love to follow my interests and see what life is like on the other side of the planet for people who like what I like or do what I do.

Chances are if I've added you as a contact, it's because either your stuff is cool or it's nice to see life in another country - or both! That and I'm sure at the end of some hyperlink somewhere is Kevin Bacon's Flickr page.
