SOLUTION 

The smartphone camera has altered photography in ways I never imagined imaginable. I recall when the first smartphone was out. I had a digital camera and thought it was the coolest thing ever to have a camera that allowed you to see the image instantaneously. When the phone’s camera first appeared, I thought it was a ridiculous notion!! I had my digital camera with me. Why do I need a camera on my phone? What a difference a year has made in my life! I don’t know what I’d do without my phone’s camera!! I miss printing photos and being so happy to see how they turned out! I’m old enough to recall disposable cameras!! Oh, the good old days! With the advancement of smartphones, practically everyone has become a professional photographer. …..please click the purchase button below to access the entire solution at $5
