What I See Right Now

If you've been following me on Twitter, you may have noticed that for the last several days I've been posting a "what I see right now" shot which literally is what I see at that moment. I'll pick a random time of the day, take a pic of what I see with the iPhone, do all of the editing using iPhone apps, and then upload it to Twitter.

Doing this usually takes no more that a few minutes and I upload it right away before I move from that spot, so it literally is what I'm seeing at that very moment. 

I use several different apps for editing: PS Mobile, Best Camera, CameraBag & Hipstamatic. Frequently I'll use more than one to achieve different effects.

So what's the point? I was listening to a photography podcast...wish I could remember which one because I listen to several...and the host was quoting another photographer when he said that "there isn't anything that's not worth photographing." This statement reaffirmed my belief that art is everywhere if you know how to look. Having a camera in my phone gives me the opportunity to capture it  anytime or anywhere, and I like the ability to instantly edit and share while I'm still looking at the subject.

Faux Polaroid Fun

...or just chop their heads off.

I love the look of photos that look like they were an accident. This is the kind of art I used to see in our photo albums growing up. Not a throw-away, dang-it, we paid to have it developed so it's going in the album. Even if it was done with a Polaroid camera, you only get 12 pictures per pack of film, so if it comes out wrong, so be it. That film wasn't cheap, so we kept every single picture, even if their heads were chopped off.

I did this entirely on my iPhone using the Camera Bag app.
