Your mobile phone is your social network. An always-on, always-with-you connection to the people in your life. At Tiny, they believe that it’s not a “device” and it’s not a “tool.” It’s an extension of you, and it’s a part of whatever you’re doing.
The camera embedded in your phone has less to do with “photography” and more to do with communication and shared experience and conversation.
We believe there’s a remarkable shift happening in the way we communicate. A shift borne of the immediacy and intimacy of mobile and the ease and richness of imagery. Our mission is to combine these two.
