My Favorite Cellphone Photos of 2019

A Collection of My Favorite Cellphone Photos Taken in 2019.

For the last bunch of years, I’ve put together a retrospective of my Favorite Photos of the Year. (Click here to see My Favorite Photos of 2019 — Those images were taken with my ‘real’ camera; They are my “professional” photos.) Then, starting a couple of years ago, I began making a second annual collection, namely “My Favorite Cellphone Photos of the Year.”

I consider these images to be more personal or just for fun shots, or what I got if I didn’t have my ‘real’ cameras with me. But as is often said, “The best camera is the one you have with you.” At one time I outright rejected phone-cameras as not being a legitimate ‘real’ camera. However, I’ve since come to learn and enjoy showing that you can indeed do some wonderful photography with a cellphone.

Just like these two posts, I have a separate Business Instagram Page and a personal Instagram account where I don’t worry about mixing these types of images in with my curated professional work.
