This entry is crossposted to Walk With Me....
I have a confession to make...I drank the iPhoneography kool-aid.
I really like my iPhone. I don't know anyone who has one who doesn't. The people at Apple are geniuses. It's not a phone...it's a fabulous toy for grownups. It just so happens you can make a call with it.
I rarely took photos with my old phone. I didn't start taking photos with this phone right away. But then, I discovered the creative apps....I discovered iPhoneography...and I quickly learned that it's an art form that is being widely accepted by BIG names in traditional photography. Photographers from National Geographic, Outdoor Photography and other major publications are ladling out the kool-aid to the rest of us.
It's being embraced for what it is. What it is NOT...is a replacement for high quality dslr photography. It's really a new creative medium that you carry in your pocket. For people truly passionate about photography, it's not a way to turn a bad photo into a gimicky "good" photo. At present, we're limited in the amount of control available in making the image. You can't set your shutter speed or control your depth of field. So it becomes very much about composition and applying a new medium to a well composed picture.
It's fun and it appears that the creative possibilities are almost limitless. Google it...you'll be amazed.

So, the photos were edited using iphonegraphy? I need to look this up! I rarely use my iphone, I tried it the other day and was frustrated when I couldn't zoom in on the subject. There might be a zoom that I just haven't found yet.
Love the photos - and the edits. =)
Great work and glad you have joined the iPhone photo world!
