The iPhoneography Showcase of Dred242

About me: I've enjoyed taking (making) photographs since I was a kid growing up on the far South Side of Chicago. My first camera was a plastic mail-order toy camera that actually took real photos on 120 film. I moved on to various Vivitar 110 pocket cameras until I finally received my first real camera....the Pentax K1000. I used the Pentax K1000 through both grade school and high school. My collection of cameras grew to include the Minolta X-570, X-700, and the Minolta Maxxum 400si along with a host of lenses and other accessories. I studied black & white photography at the South Side Community Art Center on the South Side of Chicago as well as a brief stint studying photography at Columbia College Chicago.

Recently I've taken a liking to shooting with my iPhone 3Gs; it's not so much the camera but all of it's awesome image editing apps coupled with the always-on internet connection. I've been taking photos with camera phones for a few years starting with the Sanyo PM8300, Motorola e815, and the LG Voyager. I've also been posting my camera phone photos on the internet going all the way back to the old TextAmerica.com days, Blogger (pre-Google), and a few poorly self-designed WordPress blogs. Back then I kept both my camera phone and a point-n-shoot camera in my pocket to capture photographs throughout my day, But the days of packing several devices are over! I've made a push recently to post more iPhone photos online now that I can shoot, edit, process, and post photos to the internet on-the-fly from the iPhone itself. Dozens of photographic opportunities appear throughout my day as would for any photographer with a thirst to shoot and I love taking photos. Most spontaneous photographic opportunities occur when my DSLR is packed away at home but with my iPhone and all of it's apps, I'm able to satisfy the urge and need to take a photo anytime I want. That "keep shooting" mentality is always floating around in my head and keeps me in some-what good practice when it comes to spotting and capturing something of photographic interest as well as repetition which is key to quick timing, interesting framing & composition, and most important...confidence.

Hi Mark,

My main image capturing app is 1X1 Camera, I simply love the square format.
Outside of that, each of my photos are processed and edited (as well as
uploaded to the web) on the iPhone itself with a combination of iPhone apps.

The apps are as follows:

Camera Bag / PhotoGene / TiltShift / AutoStitch / CinemaFX / Quad Camera
1X1Camera / GorillaCAM / Slow Shutter / Camera Zoom / Photoshop Mobile
Video Pix / Hipstamiatic / Best Camera / Shake It Photo / Lo-Mob / PhotoInfo
Layers / More Mono / More Lomo / Polarize / Collage / Camera HD / Comic Life
Film Lab / PhotoForge

You can catch a few more of my iPhone photos on my photoblog (BokehImage.com) and over at TheBestCamera.com
