iPhone Progress

I’m getting close to my secret ambitions with the iPhone. I have written the actions, made a plan, and think…..think….that I can make gallery sized prints from the lowly iPhone camera.

Why am I fixated on this you ask?

The iPhone represents a fundamental shift in cell phone technology and direction. The iPhone’s large screen and easy to use camera, coupled with increasingly sophisticated camera/photo Apps makes the iPhone an ever evolving photo taking/sharing/geo-tagging platform. If there were a bit more manual control and perhaps 3 mega pixels instead of 2, the iPhone would easily outperform many point and shoots in terms of overall usability.

I predict the cell phone will, in a matter of five years or so, largely replace the ubiquitous point and shoot digital camera that most people carry now.

Consider this: there are more cell phone cameras in existence than all other kinds of cameras combined. The cell phone represents the everyman’s camera. All over the world!

I’m pushing the limits of cell phone photography because I want to be a leader and teacher in this field.

I believe in the photography democracy that the cell phone camera represents.

I can’t put it more simply than that.

Lo-Fi, Hi-Style: Coming Soon

I have a secret website that is under construction at the moment. It is the reason I have slowed my posting to this blog. Soon this blog will be replaced and you will be re-directed to my new baby, Lo-Fi, Hi-Style: the blog.

This new blog will be focused on squeezing the most magic possible out of common digital tools.

I won’t be reviewing the RED camera. I won’t tell you how to use a 35mm lens adapters on your brand new Canon XH-A1 camcorder. Instead I’m going to teach you to be the storyteller you are and teach you to make something amazing with a budget of $500 or less.

Interested?

Stay tuned.

I am using all of my spare time to get my baby launched. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. I’ll let you know when it happens.
