The iPhoneography Showcase of Stephan Pearce

I am your typical average joe when it comes to photography.  I don't have any background in photography or arts, nor do I have experience with anything beyond a cheap digital camera.  So, everything that I do with any of my photographs is completely self taught.  Back when I was younger in high school, I had a great interest in art.  But, ever since, it's kind of slipped away from me as life twist and turned me toward a different direction.  But, with the iPhone, it's come back to me (and that's not a cheap Apple shill).

Inspiration revitalized.  And really, most of it came down to me stumbling on this blog and seeing just what other people have been doing with their iPhones.  And...WOW.

I really like the tag line in the title of the Best Camera app: "The best camera is the one that's with you." This holds true.  The idea of taking a great photograph is capturing the moment, in the moment.  Every day, at any point of the day this particular scene will capture my total attention in a second, even if it's for just a second, if not shorter than that.  Whether it's the way a naked tree bends, taller than the family of trees full of leaves below it or an old couple holding hands.  In that one brief second, no matter what's going on in your life, how well or badly things are going, in that one brief second...you see just how beautiful this life is.

Just so happens my cellphone, that's -always- in my pocket...has a camera.  With the 3GS, not so bad of a camera either!  But, it's not just that, the fact that with the functionality of the iPhone, it's crazy what you can do with your photographs after you take them.  Even though I'm quite proficient in Photoshop, I've actually somehow found myself not even touching a computer with my pictures.  I tend to end up doing all of my post-processing from the iPhone and entirely with the iPhone all the way down to uploading them.
