Connections: The Power (and Problems) of Camera Phones

That little camera on your phone? It’s a powerful tool. It can disrupt an event…or it can be a surprisingly good replacement for a much bigger, more expensive digital camera. We focus (no pun intended) on the ways a cellphone camera can be used for good and bad. Professional photographer Russ Lunn joins us to talk about how thoughtless use of phone cameras can make it hard to get good pictures of a wedding or a school play, and about some of the tricks he’s learned to make cell pictures look better. We’ll also talk with Steve Carter, organizer of Rochester’s local Instagram group called Explore Rochester, and with Ricky Figueroa, associate professor at RIT’s School of Film and Animation.
