CROSSROADS:

THE IPHONE EDITION

TRAVEL • MAY 2015 • TURKEY (ISTANBUL, PAMUKKALE , CAPPADOCIA)

As the camera and image quality of photos shot on smartphones improve over the years, I'm finding more and more occasions during my trips where I have reached out for my phone for those photogenic moments rather than my SLR. And what a waste it would be to just have the shots be kept in the camera roll of my phone instead of in my portfolio. So here goes.
