It was with great ambivalence that I acquired an iPhone. While there’s much to love about the technology, the cellphone industrial complex makes me crazy. It’s tempting to veer into a consumer rant here, but I’ll sidestep that to tell you that I have greatly enjoyed having the Internet in my pocket. I also rather like some of the fun toys that make my phone do more stuff.
We recently spent a weekend in Kitsap county, just west of Seattle, and I shot a handful of photos with the phone in my camera and then, ran them through a little post processing tool called Polarize. I’m enjoying the lo-fi look, plus, it’s fun to share them right away via my other internet addiction, Twitter. The results are in the slideshow below, there’s more to come, I’m sure.
I noticed the new photos as you were posting them on Twitter over the weekend. Pretty nifty.
Welcome to the dark side!
Kinda ironic that your slideshow is in Flash, which doesn’t display on an iPhone.
@richard: dammit, i had no idea. that’s annoying as hell, but it’s not gonna make me stop. nope.
I hardly ever use my iPhone for actual phone use. I love having my internet in my pocket and I get a kick out of my photo apps. Camera Bag is another app I think you would love. Enjoy!
I too love my iphone and what a cool app using a polarize tag. Just wait you won’t be able to live without your iphone!
I’m still on the fence with the whole iPhone thing. I can’t seem to give up my blackberry. But I will admit that iPhone has some crazy cool apps. I love that you can convert your photos to Polaroids. I kind of miss shooting Polaroids (looking for one to play with).
Love them. My daughter is totally creeped out by the hot dog ketchuping himself — there’s another in Greenwood that we often see. He looks a little lascivious.
Have you tried the Hipstamatic app? I think you might like it. You can swap out lens, film and flash.
That looks like a cool tool. Living in Hawaii with all the blue waters of the ocean, you have to polarize you photos and I am a fan of just using the phone too.
