Flickr Seattle Cameraphone

As has been noted before at Seattlest, Flickr is a super cool way to share pictures, especially all those worthless, low resolution cameraphone pictures. In fact, Flickr allows instant email posting of pictures right from your cameraphone. So today we mine the servers at Flickr for images of our great city as seen through the cheap, scratched plastic lenses of your cameraphone (or phonecam).

The camera phone captures the simple realities of daily experience, like this picture of a bright and sunny SeaTac airport, the rainy, gloomy view from Alaskan Way Viaduct and boarding the ferry. The views you get while commuting in Seattle can be beautiful - Lake Union, Queen Anne, Sunset from I-5 and leaving Seattle on the ferry.

Unlike the fancy, bigger digital SLRs, its portability allows it to capture news and events as they are happening like protest at Seattle Central CC or The Stranger linking to Seattlest on their cover. Or you can just snap shots of weird and interesting things like Seattle Public Library elevators, historical signs and weird fish at the Market. Or our cool city landmarks, the Smith Tower, the Pike Place Market Sign and the Waterfront Trolley.
