  • About this Project

    cellphoneSketchpad started several years ago as an extension to real-time sketchbook drawing in the field (...or on subway trains in nyc).

    Less about photography - more about story and capturing ideas quickly in real time - a digital pen on a virtual cocktail napkin.

    This blog is a work in progress - updated daily. Comments, ideas, suggestions, and submissions welcome.

    Thanks for stopping by.
