New Blog – Mobile Image World

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. So said John Lennon and that is what seems to have happend to this blog. Some serious family health issues have put a lot of less pressing things in life on hold. I had just started another blog, Mobile Image World and was going to both when our lives changed.

Recently I was motivated to restart Mobile Image World due to a momentous event taking place, the LA Mobile Arts Festival. It is the biggest event of its kind to date. It has been quite creatively put together by the founders of iphoneart.com and is taking place now in Santa Monica, California. I invite you to join me at Mobile Image World where I am blogging about this and other topics related to mobile photography and art.

As time allows it would be great to restart this blog. I hope that happens.

iPhoneography

iPhoneography, what is it? Simply put, it is photography made using an iPhone. Specifically iPhoneography is making, editing and creating images all on your iPhone. There are hundreds, make that thousands, of photo editing apps for iPhone. There are apps for taking photos, editing photos, creating and recreating images in a multitude of artistic ways. It is thoroughly amazing the images that can be created using a handheld device. We are limited only by our own imagination.

There are numerous websites dedicated to iPhoneography. These sites have news, tips, app reviews, and more.

Here are a few of the top sites:

http://lifeinlofi.com/

http://eyephoneography.com/

http://www.iphoneart.com/

There are are many other sites and would really like to hear about more of them if anyone has recommendations.

One of my favorite sites is the previously mentioned http://www.iphoneart.com/ . IPA is much more than a typical iPhoneography website. It is a community of talented artists creating and displaying high quality iPhoneography photos and artwork. This community also provides user forums for tips, reviews, critiques, and so much more. This is the go to place for hands on help from friendly, helpful, experienced and knowledgeable people of all skill levels. IPA will be covered here in a post of its own in the future.

Of course, Instagram is a huge community of iPhoneographers with so many images posted daily it would be humanly impossible to see them all. Soon the Instagram app will come to Android phone users as well. Wonder what they will call their form of photography. Androidography? We shall see. There are also Flickr groups and other iPhoneography related groups and communities around the net.

iPhoneography is a phenomenon that is here to stay. It is my current primary form of photography. My iPhone camera is the one that is always with me!

Post Note: Photos included are examples of my iPhoneography. They can be viewed with further details and apps used here: http://www.iphoneart.com/Light_Imagery
