How my HTC Desire HD android phone changed my life.

I've been taking pictures for years, but for the past 20 years I have been taking PR photos which, to be honest, are not about 'fun' or 'creativity', they are simply functional. A means to an end. Therefore I find it hard to carry an slr camera around with me just in case I find something I want to photograph. Besides, I never found the camera function in my mobile phone to be of much use, not until I acquired my first android phone and its excellent built in camera. But who cares about the vanilla camera function? I'd had my HTC Desire HD android for about two hours before downloading the first of several photography 'apps' and have since found my enthusiasm for photography to be well and truly rekindled. And now I find I can also blog from my phone whilst sharing pictures of nothing in particular. Happy days!
