Moments matter. If they didn’t, mobile phones wouldn’t pack increasingly sophisticated cameras. Some, like Google Nexus One, set standards that rivals only matched years later.
Consider the Featured Image, which I captured on Nov. 2, 2010, using the smartphone, which launched about 11 months earlier. The view is along Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach.
Metadata is lacking, unfortunately. Device is identified but not the actual shooting settings. I ever-so-slightly straightened the photo, which otherwise is unaltered.
