iPhoneography + the things that inspire me from the Internets. Enjoy.

During my lunch today I went and checked out my Flickr stats and was pleasantly surprised to see that my iPhone photos were getting a lot more activity than normal. I had over 700 views, 50 comments, and 34 favorites. Totally out of the norm. I couldn't figure out the reason for all the traffic. But then I got an email from Google alerts pinning my name to a certain blog. I checked it out and sure enough a short little feature about me and my photos was up (I knew a post was going to be made, but I never knew when it would be posted).
My iPhone pictures were showcased on the popular iPhoneography blog iPhoneography.com. This was really cool considering pictures are created to be seen, after all that's why photographers take 'em right? So what a better way than to be able to share mine with a community that I love. I think it's cool to see how a little hobby like taking pictures with my "cell phone" has grown into something that I really feel is apart of my everyday life. It definitely has changed how I see the world since I am always looking to snap a cool shot. You can check out my little iPhone showcase here.
Just want to close with a big thanks to all of you who subscribe to my Posterous or friend me on Flickr. It's really appreciated!
I just found my new favorite photographer, Christian Schmidt. He's a big time award winning freelance photographer from Stuttgart, Germany. His landscapes, people, architecture, and automotive photos are all just breath taking. Of course you know I love his lighting, and the way he pulls you in with his color. Check out more of his work here.
I'm really looking forward to Adobe CS5 since I skipped CS4. The new CS5 will be especially helpful when it comes to Photoshop/Lightrooom stuff, since CS3 doesn't play nice at all with the RAW 2 files that my Canon 7D produces (hence the lack of photos being shared from that camera). The new After Effects should be like day and night for me since my current version hasn't been able to take full advantage of my tower's multiple processors.
So am I upgrading? Heck ya! April 12th can't come soon enough, plus it's a business write-off ;) What about you? Gonna upgrade as well? You can get a little bit more info here and here.
Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, VISUAL ACOUSTICS celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world’s greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman, who passed away this year, captured the work of nearly every modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry. His images epitomized the singular beauty of Southern California’s modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images.

Snippet from the forum:
I sold my first DSLR (Rebel XT) to my buddy from Florida who happens to be a skydive instructor. He used it mounted on his helmet to shoot skydivers in a free fall. The mounting plate detached when he opened his chute and both cameras (photo + video) took a fall from approximately 3000 ft. Amazingly, the Rebel survived the fall and my friend is still using it to this very day. It has a crack in the plastic body and the kit lens is a little jerky when zooming, but functional.
More info about the fall here.
