Iphonography - sharing the love of my Iphone

 In the midst of posting sneak peeks this week from recent client sessions, I am hoping to share a few of my new obsessions!   First up, I really want to start showing my Iphone images.  Have I told you how much I LOVE MY IPHONE yet?  Well, let’s just put it this way, it’s my new best friend.  Always there when I need it, it mascarades as a communication center of course and holds many listening pleasures at my fingertips.  But my primary use of my Iphone is to play with photographs!   Making them, toying with them and sharing them.  A pretty decent little point and shoot with limitations of course, but I prefer to think of those as “characteristics” of Iphonography and let them be.   A wonderful choice of applications, free or real cheap - are easily had to keep me entertained at a moments notice - whenever the mood or times strikes!I am not terribly concerned with the final image in terms of huge enlargements, although I do plan to experiment with printing my Iphone images. I look at it as keeping my eye sharp and my brain thinking creatively, without carrying about a bunch of gear.   And it frees me somehow, from the “daily grind” (albiet a pretty cool one) of making photographs as my job and lets me play and experiment again - as I did when I was just a starving artist!!!   Now I am a business person too, I make photographs for my family portrait clients - that they will hold close and cherish throughout their lives and histories.   Helping them to hold onto memories and moments in their lives - that is my job as I see it and it’s a pretty heavy responsibility.  One that I take to heart.   I also work on personal projects and photograph my own family ALOT. But sometimes I just need to lighten up.  So……. it’s just nice to play and that’s what I do with my Iphone.  If you don’t have one yet - you should!
