Camera vs phone?

This was my view yesterday. Now, I dont throw often, so when I get the urge - I go for it and throw many things. Yesterday, it was 2 bowls and 5 mugs. Still not a ton, I know, but I worked on other things too! I have a replacement mug to make for my friend Keith in Sydney, and a more local friend Amy, has begun hinting... oh so subtly.
Here's another work in progress picture: 
Two shrines, textured and distressed a bit, now drying. And yes, those are owl pendants peeking out from the right side! Too sweet, looking forward to glazing those!
So - the question of the day - are these pictures decent enough? Is the image quality acceptable? I was reading a post somewhere - mind like a sieve, cant remember, so I couldnt link to it... The debate was voiced by an artist who had a really nice camera, which stayed home for the beauty shots, and a point and shoot to be out and about, pictures on the go. It got me thinking. I have a digital point and shoot, which takes great pix. I never take it with me. Whenever I am out and about I take pictures with my phone. These studio pix were shot with my LG phone yesterday. I am willing to sacrifice some picture quality for convenience and practicality. I mean, I am in a ceramics studio, I am usually covered in clay - which I do not want inside and all over my camera. So the phone, which is always with me - is the perfect tool.
What are your thoughts on the matter?

the shrine comment was submitted by Anne .... just so you know. The Anne that you did the custom shrine and custom "joshua" train for. :)
Glad to "see" you here!
Hi Anne!
Thanks for tuning in! I have to take care of my blog, get back to the real deal, and not get too distracted by Facebook! ( Although I have a fan page...)
More pix to follow!

Mugs you say? Why, I had no idea!
