Glyn Evans In the 3rd part of my mini series of interviews/questions & answers with current leading iPhoneographers, I am pleased to to introduce Gabriel Sucho, or Microbians as he is more commonly known as, who publishes "Dreams To Not Forget". By comparison Microbians is fairly new to the iPhoneography seen, but if you check out his website, I think you will agree he has a flare for it.
Gabriel Sucho (Microbians) is from Spain, so you will have to excuse some of his English, but considering English is not his native language, he has done pretty well.
As with the other posts, I have interspersed a selection of Gabriel's (Microbians) photos with his answers.

thank you for posting this interview and the pictures. since i got my iphone 3g in oct, i've felt it makes a great quick street camera and portable "photo studio". i use camera bag, photogene and panolab for panoramas. the touch screen makes editing and using fx a breeze.
gabriel, your pictures are beautiful. i'll be checking out your tumblr.
Baron, thanks for your comments, and I'm glad you liked the post. The 3 iPhoneography features I have posted just go to show just what can be done with the iPhone despite only having a 2 megapixel camera.
If you haven't already done so, check out the other interviews on the blog.
