Art Wednesday, September 25, 13

Art • The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. - Google.com Wednesday, September 25, 13

Eyenology Wednesday, September 25, 13

Eyenology • Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing). - Cartier-Bresson Wednesday, September 25, 13

Why the phone Wednesday, September 25, 13

Why the phone • Using a phone has brought my attention less to the craft and more to what I am photographing and why. So, the question becomes not where I see the phone taking my work, but where the work will take me. - Michael C. Brown Wednesday, September 25, 13

Why the iPhone Wednesday, September 25, 13

Why the iPhone • The difference between iPhoneographers and the rest of the photography genres lies in the thousands of photo apps that allow us to process and share our art using only an iPhone. You can’t do that with a Nikon or a Canon. The Android market is growing, but lacks the sheer number of photo apps and many of the best photo apps are iOS only. - Yawnick Wednesday, September 25, 13
