Now I am completely attached to this silly thing. Yes, I have to put my iphone away during the day. Otherwise I will play around with the camera apps non-stop. No dinner, no laundry, no conversation with my lovelies.
Dudley Redhead is to blame. I downloaded her zine,
A Quick Guide to Iphoneography, Tips + Apps for Creating Cool Pics, a few days ago and can't stop exploring!

| This one started out simple - just a troll in front of an open book. Apply the app... add an air of eeeek! |
 |
| Now I've got a little story in the works. |

| Japanese salt and pepper shaker set, one of my grandmothers' treasures. |
 |
| Toys that belonged to my husband and I. This effect makes me feel quite old. But doesn't it look cool? |
|
|
 |
| label app - lots of cool label choices... |
|
|
 |
| this app lets you turn any photo into a poster (complete with coffee stain, if you wish!) |

I wonder, is all this app experimentation good for me? I think it is. The more I play around with photography (phone or non-phone,) the more I explore color, composition, and subject matter. Photographs are another way of telling a story. And don't we all have stories to tell?
If you are ready to get hooked, visit
Dudley Redhead or purchase her zine at her etsy shop,

These are great! I love the gnome witch series. I don't have an iPhone but am always so impressed when I see the awesome pictures people take with them. And this app you've discovered makes them extra cool. Because I have other cameras handy whenever I'm with my iPad I never use it to take pictures, but I think I can do the same photography with it as do people with the phones. I must get busy trying that out!

ReplyDeleteLooks addicting Jenny-you've got some great and fun pics!! I don't have an Iphone or Ipad or Nook or any of that-I know I'd lose all the time I have to art :):) Love your salt and pepper shaker-I have a handful of my great grandmother's along with some egg cups.
ReplyDeletethanks for writing about this.
ReplyDeletei know my iphone camera will do much more than i am asking of it now.

High School Art students are getting great results with their phones.
