Photography is a tool for our desire to image, as was painting before. Now we have many choices in imagemaking. Plastic cameras, children's toy cameras, pinhole cameras, even the video "still portrait" of a few minutes. So it makes sense that cameraphone photos would find themselves scrutinized on gallery walls. That's the case tonight at Newspace. Photographers include Joni Kabana, Beth Nakamura, Andy Bath, Faith Cathcart, Daniel Root, Susan Bein, Aisha Harley and Jan Sonnenmair, the curator. Each photographer has made a personal narrative, with the best camera in the world: the one with you. At Newspace Photo www.newspacephoto.org 1632 SE 10th
