Yeah, the idea is this: There’s a point along the curve of bad phone-camera photography, right before the pic gets so bad that it makes the viewer vomit, where the curve spikes and becomes art. It’s like the Uncanny Valley, but I call it the Bokeh Hill.

Dude, that third picture (the one of the girl) is awesome
I wonder how long it will be until old mobile-phones are be sought after by photographers and collectors who are striving for that ‘retro’ aesthetic.

Hahaha. I agree!
The same effect exists in audio. With just the right amount of luck or inspiration, even a Casio-tone can sound perfect.
