Technical: smartphone
I can’t say that this was iPhone used to shoot Julia. It’s not her best image. You are dealing with wide angle effect with prominent facial and hand features closest to the lens. That would be large nose and fingers. But who can deny the happiness of an ice cream treat. She’s been traveling in Africa this summer and in some pretty tough living conditions. So this moment of joy and pleasure must be taken in context. Sometimes it’s not the technical quality of the image but the emotion it brings when your favorite daughter sends an image saying she’s well and having a great time. It definitely beats getting a post card dated weeks ago, “Having fun, wish you were here.”
