iPhone photos

iPhone photos has started to develop into a new visual series for me. I like the concept because the photos are generally unplanned and attempt to capture something I find appealing(attempt - I am no photographer), a moment in time where I linger on a particular thought, reflection or mood. I also love the idea of 2 megapixel images, not really a high enough resolution to print as an 6" x 8". This excites be because it challenges traditional concepts of photos as precious things, things to print and keep for years. These photos are not precious, make limited social and artistic commentary and are best suited to web publishing. I'm attempting to comment on the increasing trend of capturing anything and everything digitally these days and sharing it on social media channels. I also like the challenge of learning to manuavure the limitations of iPhone's camera, in particular the lighting and contrast issues. Let's see where it leads.

waiting in line for Amococo

I spent 2 hours on the weekend waiting to see Amococo, a luminarium - a walk-through inflatable sculpture filled with light and vivid colour. Although it was an arduous wait, the soft, subtle interior cushioned the experience perfectly.

Very cool, made by Architects of Air (UK).

Old ladies

Ok, so I know people (men) like to let old ladies onto the bus first, but the way I see it, they have had their fair share of chivalry (no, I'm not saying letting an old lady on the bus first is chivalrous,
just stick with me here), but in the pre-womens movement days, these ladies have not only got on the bus first, but had their bags carried, doors opened, had lunch paid for, sat on chairs while men waited in line. Well excuse me for saying move over old lady, I spent 2 hours waiting in a line on the weekend without a chair, water, or sun umbrella, have been working all day and bought my own lunch- I would like to sit down now, thanks!

sharing - the new caring?
