Sharp V603

I took these pictures with my phone over the last couple months. They’re not very attractive; contrast and white balance leave something to be desired, but ocassionally they turn out ok if I downsample in Photoshop enough (spaghetti, coffee). There seems to be some sort of digital smoothing and vignetting filter to compensate for the weak CCD. However, the LCD is really bright and clear, all the images look nice on its screen. I guess that’s what’s most important. I pretty much use my camera phone to make visual reminders to myself of things that I want to come back to.

I haven’t taken many pictures of people yet, but I was amused to find that Mikiko’s phone was apparently targeted for self-conscious women as the lens was blatantly concave such that all pictures taken of me looked ridiculously thin. Pretty shifty, but I guess department stores have been doing this with dressing room mirrors for years.
