When I wrote artaicles for a magazine, a cell phone photo would not work. I can't imagine that those little pea-size lenses can take any kind of sharp photo that could be used for any thing other than viewing on the cell phone.
And layout photos for publication absolutely need time exposures to get down low and close up in available light.
I agree with Scrap Iron, it is time to head for the door and maybe go out railfanning with a real camera!
