Because a friend of mine has been nagging that I do not post fast enough, here’s a post for her (Yes Hadile, you).One of my favorites; A lady holding a baby (on the left) .
I'm in the picture too; art of art.
As not much is happening these days, both in my life and on the surface of this society (underneath it’s Tornado Alert), I went to the opening of Bassam Lahoud’s Mobile Art Exhibition. Bassam is an LAU (Lebanese American University) professor and photographer who got out his mobile phone (0.7 mega pixels, which is nothing) one day and started taking pictures of the people around him. Although the resolution is pathetic, the colors are nice, and the motion/movement is interesting. He calls it Mobile Art.
Mind you, he is not the first one to play with the idea; art with your mobile phone. Sites such as Flickr have entire photo pools on this type of art. He (Bassam Lahoud) however does put an interesting ‘spin on twisted’ as one visitor put it. Most images were purposely moved.

nee, Adriaan zijn halve haar heb ik net per internet naar je gestuurd. Ik zal de link veranderen. Adriaan gaat naar zeilkamp in Friesland. Ga je mee?
Bassam Lahoud taught me and both my brothers photography at LAU. We all took several courses with him. He is a really nice guy and great teacher. Never thought he would get into mobile art.
