The photos on the following pages were taken with three types of cameras: a standard 35mm film camera (remember those?), a point-and-shoot digital, and an LG Voyager cell phone camera. None costs over $250, and each can be mastered by anyone. We move through our world so quickly. A recent issue of Vanity Fair hit the problem on its head: “Among the defining attributes of now are ever tinier gadgets, ever shorter attention spans, and the privileging of marketplace values above all. Life is maniacally parceled into financial quarters, three-minute YouTube videos, 140-character tweets.” (January 2010, p. 91) I’m no luddite: 2/3 of these images were made using technology that barely existed 10 years ago. But I miss film, letter-writing, picking up the phone to say hello, and the gritty feel of newsprint. My wish for you, Dear Viewer, and the singular message of my art is this: slow down. If the cameras we hold in our pockets are sufficient to capture framable images, then shouldn’t we pause to take a closer look? Embrace the lights and colors and expressions, the art that inhabits our daily lives. http://www.citizenculture.com/photography/2009_by_Jonathon_Scott_Feit_for_Citizen_Culture_Media___Feit_Family_Ventures_Corp./Pages/Cell_Phone.html 092ede0e-e5f4-4303-bb5d-3ec6538e3c97 http://www.citizenculture.com/photography/2009_by_Jonathon_Scott_Feit_for_Citizen_Culture_Media___Feit_Family_Ventures_Corp./Pages/35mm_Film.html 3bd2746d-7676-4250-af6e-98c7eeebdb97 http://www.citizenculture.com/photography/2009_by_Jonathon_Scott_Feit_for_Citizen_Culture_Media___Feit_Family_Ventures_Corp./Pages/Digital.html 3d36fea5-bed7-4a39-b061-f1b0551a2f68 http://www.citizenculture.com/photography/2009_by_Jonathon_Scott_Feit_for_Citizen_Culture_Media___Feit_Family_Ventures_Corp./Pages/Artists_Bio_%26_Contact.html 06810c03-5419-4a83-9dcc-46cb3ed78cd1
