Believing that it is the photographer, not the camera that makes the photograph, this is a collection of iPhone photographs made while traveling across the world. 'The Phone Book' places two photographs on opposing pages, creating spreads that invite the viewer to discover their own connections between the images and their own interpretation and experience. 'The Phone Book' is a thread to broadening one's artistic sensibility, knowledge, visual literacy, and sense of connection with people and places throughout the world.
