The iPhoneography blog welcomes Matt Burrows to the team

Cheers to all. I’m proud to join the iPhoneography blog and would like to take a quick moment to introduce myself. By trade, I’m a high school English teacher who lives just outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Life, especially the summers, are a great time for my family and I. I’m a happily-married father of two (a nine year old girl and two year old boy) and teacher of up to 180 students a year. As such, I realize that time is a very important commodity. And it’s for this reason that I am excited to have the opportunity to write for Glyn’s iPhoneography blog.

I have enjoyed photography for many years. Truth be known, it was one of the first things my wife and I would do together when we first started dating. I was a Photoshop junkie and she was an “old-school” darkroom developer. Together, we would just drive and find great places and people to take pictures of. However, the burden of paying for all our 35mm photos to be developed would soon cause us to cough up some cash and purchase our first pair of digital cameras. And though our Nikon D70’s have treated us well over the years, it is my iPhone that I now find myself reaching for. It’s convenient—it’s time efficient. And so it is I find myself trying to maximize my time while also trying to maintain the quality of the pictures I take.

The iPhoneography blog has been a great source of information about various apps that aide in this process. Apps like Camerabag and Pano are ones I frequently use to quickly modify a photo and upload it to Flickr.

As a firm believer in the “pay it forward” mentality, I’m proud to be able to do my part in reviewing some of the newest photography apps that are released so I can save readers the time of having to pay for and evaluate an app that may not be what they are looking for.

Thanks,
-Matt
