An excellent observation. A big big problem for snapshooters is slow shutter response time on phones and cheaper cameras - push, jerk, click. You gotta "hold that pose", almost like in the early early days. Instead of freezing the subject we have to freeze the shooter.

Yes. In my old hands the small, light phone is far harder to hold steady than my big, heavy DSLR.

To be very, very snobbishly condescending: The reason so many smart phone photos are of exceeding mediocrity is that the pholks taking the pictures are really just "phone-ees" and not fotographers!
Very witty!

The pictures my mother took with a 110 camera were just fine. Then she got a Canon AE-1 program; I'm guessing it was the passage of time, rather than new equipment, but her composing was more adventurous .... but still got all body parts in the picture. She went back to P&S when she went digital, but her images were still well-composed.

Funny as hell, we have the same problem with my wonderful wife. Weather she's using a still or video camera. When she looks at what she shot, she starts laughing.My mom used to cut the heads off of everyone in her photos when we were growing up. When the pictures came back from the developer, we'd have to identify people by what clothing they had on, since there were no heads!

My mother probably took one of the first “selfies” many years ago: we were at a parade and she was going to take a picture of a friend. She grabbed her little point and shoot, had it backwards in her hand and took a picture of herself. I had to explain to her which was the front of the camera.

I remember in beginning Photography class back in 1957, one of the first rules was squeeze the shutter button, don't punch it. All of a sudden the pictures got a lot sharper. Live and learn.

My first wife had the uncanny ability to locate and photograph only those friends, relatives & children who were afflicted with a rare disease that caused bushes and trees to grow out of their head.

Yep. My first digital camera was a Kodak DX7630 and the delay between pressing the shutter and when the picture was actually captured drove me up the wall! I was nearly always moving the camera during the exposure. I solved the problem by buying a DSLR.An excellent observation.

Please remember that a major photo contest a few years ago was won with a photo taken with a cell phone.

It should also work with saying cheese. The Korean version Samsung phones work with smile or kimche :D
