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.

Reviews for The Phone Book
In June 2015, the New York Times featured 'The Phone Book' with a slide-show of images. The piece was entitled 'Robert Herman Squares New Photos With Past Work, Using an iPhone App'. See the link below for the article - and the slide-show! Known for his award winning street photography, Herman used Hipstamatic's square format to create this unique collection of iPhone photographs made while traveling across the world.
Elizabeth Avedon This title is filled with color and black-and-white photos that are by turns compassionate, witty, and observant. [It] shows that we're not living entirely in a digital or print world, but instead one that creatively merges aspects of both.
