All this talk about how glamorous it would be working for NG as a
photographer and they now have the nerve to release this book! It exposes
the true motives of NG. Yes, this is really a book released by NG.
Bastards! This is a real slap in the face to all photographers worldwide.

To whoever did the PS work: a tiny stroke or shadow along the upper edge
of the slightly open page makes it better.

Funny, tho. Thanks for posting.

Are we supposed to read the book or does one picture tell it all.
Personally, I don't get your point.

You're losing your mind! There's no PS on this as it is an actual book!
Really!

Funny and sad at the same time. Though Aimee is a decent photographer in
her own right. To cheapen the art of digital photography with crappy camera
phones is an injustice. And to write a book to profit off this stupidity is
even more of an injustice. So, now NG is reduced to accepting camera phone
pics from the average slob.

Even funnier is that it is true.

Rita,
Why are you so upset? The fact that a "renowned" photographer writes a book
about camera phones? Or that camera phones shouldn't have any right in
photography?
Have you read the book? Personally, I can't judge before having read the
book and seen the photos shown in that book.
You seem to condemn the whole idea of Aimee Baldridge - camera phones -
National Geographics...
There are more and more photos taken with camera phones, many of these, good
enough to be invoked in a courtroom.
Surely, someone can evaluate and maybe write a book...
Marcel

Funny indeed; that's what some people said about digital cameras when
they were new. How dare they ruin the film experience!

Can anybody recommend a camera phone with image quality good enough for
prints?
