I like it - but it's not very flattering.

*nods*

I supposed it isn't, but even though I say it myself, it is very Matt.

The project is about taking all kinds of portraits and some of them are intended to be "slice-of-life" bordering on the candid, I suppose, although some thought did go into this and Matt did very patiently sit still for me while I focused and framed and focused again, so for me it is a portrait... That does not mean it suffers by not flattering the subject - at least not to me.

Oh I'm all with you on the non-flattering portrait thing.

To be fair I can live without flattering, my ego can defeat all such injustices of the eye.

I don't think I'm speaking out of turn to say that Matt would be happy for you to have it and keep it if it were not his work phone - he loathes it.

Shame. You have to learn to embrace Symbian. I'm on my third generation of Symbian phones, and you can keep your Windows Mobile any day.

I think I would love it if i had ever had time to play with it. As it is it is just a less functional phone than I would like because I don't know how to do the things I want to do.

Oh for the luxury of time...

Whoa! steady on! that picture has way too much enthusiasm!

*grin*

And hey, not flattering? You suggesting my dearest beloved is not beautiful from every angle?

*eyes suspiciously*

If it were not for the weight it would be fine as far as flattering goes. The angle I am sitting at has more to do with that than the angle of the photo i think.

I am sitting up straighter today for almost that reason alone.
