Ingredients:
1. Working 24 hrs a day & watching the sunrise
2. Camera+

Headed to the UK tonight. Here are the apps I am taking with me:
1. Fusioncam (post on this app coming shortly)
2. 645 Pro
3. Disposable (post on this app also coming shortly)
I feel that I need a 4th. I am currently choosing between Wood Camera and Camera Bag. Can I get a vote?
As a side note I am getting to see the birthplace of a her0 of mine . I believe he would have appreciated iPhoneography.
1. iPhoneography jaunt in downtown Atlanta at lunch
2. A building with great lines
3. 645 Pro
4. Snapseed
I downloaded 645 Pro three weeks ago. It has usurped QuickPix as my go to iPhone camera as my go to app. 645 Pro now maintains this place on my iPhone dock.

So, why use an app other than iCamera?
The iCamera app is a great point and shot app. But if you want more control over the shot you have to branch out. QuickPix was the first camera app that gave me the incremental amount of control for which I was looking. But 645 Pro has taken it to the next level. Here are the pros and cons.
Pros:
1. Significant control – there are six different different camera backs, 6 film modes (including 3 B& W film modes), white balance, timer, meter, etc.
2. Launch Time Continue reading
I love borders. Not the ones that have armed guards (although I do enjoy crossing those). There is nothing that sets off a great photo better than a great border. Yet for some reason the number of apps with borders approaching a baseline level of decency are shockingly absent. In terms of a basic set of borders Camera+ leads the pack. But what if you want a border that really stands out? After all everyone owns Camera+, particularly after reading the “How to be an iPhoneographer” guides. Please do not even mention Instagram. Facebook now has that app in the palm of their social media hand. I will assume future positive develops to Instagram are now relegated to wishful thinking at best.
Thanks to a stellar recommendation by JamesCHunter and an incessant searching of the App Store {here is a good way to do that by the way} by yours truly there are two apps that are breathing new life into the previously stale and rotting world of borders. The following are but a foretaste of the myriad of options that await your more than capable iPhone wielding hand.
Last week I posted the first installment of “How to be an iPhoneogrpaher”, a series that will no doubt become the classic iPhoneography how to guide. This week we shift our viewfinders to a slightly more challenging yet rewarding app.
Last week there were sacrifices to be made (but how good was dinner after skipping lunch?). This week we must once again go without food but it’s not quite as severe. We need another $1.99. I would suggest skipping the edamame appetizer on Tuesday. To ease the pain a bit this post leverages my slightly below preschool level artistic skills (and let’s be honest, I just learned about Paper and it is too cool not to use) to divert your attention from the impending appetizer famine.
Today marks a moment in history for which I will forever be grateful. It is my beautiful wife’s birthday.
I have known her for 12 years. I remember the first time I held her hand. I remember when she said yes. I remember when we sat in our 800 square foot apartment watching Friends because we had no money to do anything else. I remember the “discussions” (I maybe implicated in instigating a few of these but only a few). I remember the day our daughter was born. I remember the moment we saw smoke pouring out of our front door. But most of all I remember her. Her smile. Her intelligence. Her style. Her sweetness.
I am certainly not her equal as a companion and spouse. In this I see God’s grace. I can’t imagine life without her and pray I never see that day. Here is to Frances. Happy birthday.
I call myself an iPhoneographer in my Twitter bio. The content of this blog documents my attempts at iPhoneography.
The other day I asked myself what the term even means. Reaching deep into the cavernous expanses of my brain (I shall let you be the judge as to whether said spaces are filled with much) I remembered a tweet I once read that said, “The iPhone is today’s Polaroid camera”. That is the essence of iPhoneography. You always have your camera with you. You can capture moments as they happen. Oh, and the quality of the images are astoundingly good and there are amazing photo apps that make you feel cool and hip. What is not to Continue reading
A year or so ago I started mailing postcards to my wife and daughter when I travelled. No one would could accuse me of being the definition of consistency in this endevour but you can’t hit the ball if you don’t swing {there is also a frustrating conundrum if you some how screw up the note on the postcard. You can’t erase it without screwing up the postcard and so then you always have to buy at least two of the same postcard just in case, assuming you are slightly anal}.
But now, now I have a secret weapon. I do everything on my iPhone and iPad. I have an iPhoneography addiction. And now I have Postagram. This app Is what I needed. Instead of hunting through the cheesy, touristy postcards in some corner drugstore I can personalize the whole experience with a photo I have taken and “create” postcard using Photogram. Here is how it works:
1. Download Photogram
2. Take the picture
3. Do the following:
4. Postagram does the rest, including mailing an actual physical postcard to the receipient. Cost: $1 per postcard, also known as peanuts.
5. Grab another bite of your bran muffin ( it’s so efficient you finished the postcard before you finished your breakfast at Starbucks – I would actually recommend Library Coffee as an alternative) and smile while thinking about how much the recipient will enjoy their postcard.
