NEW YORK NEW YORK – Feeling better. I went about my business today carrying my iPhone and collecting images. This thing is addictive. I haven’t tried very hard to edit the day down – I present this as an iPhone gallery. My reaction: “get a grip, Campbell.”

First an image that was not taken on December 19 – I’m posting this on Christmas Day so I thought I should share a Christmas greeting. The front of our house grunged up with an app called “plastic bullet”.

1185 Park with a tilt shift app that create an impression of very narrow depth of field, making everything look like toys.

A panorama stitched (defectively – there’s still a reason for these big cameras) from three frames.

More street.

Literally a picture of the street.

On this day last year: Chuck Klein.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Still sick, but improving. A very warm day for this time of the year. I managed to drag the Alpa and a tripod outside to capture a detail from the house.

On this day one year ago: wedding prep.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I was sick last night. Nausea, throwing up, the works. Major GI stuff. Food poisoning or a stomach flu. It continued through the day today. I mistakenly left my iPhone in the City and only have my Alpa with me. I really don’t have what it takes to go out and photograph landscape. So I set it up in the bathroom and captured myself in the steam shower. Then back to bed. I foodie friend, Jason Wright, was good enough to put the finishing touches on prep for the dinner party tonight, which I slept through.

On this day last year: Out my window with the Hasselblad.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I had lunch at the Barking Dog Cafe. A burger at the bar and a glass of IPA. The beer turned out to be a mistake – it predictably brought on an overwhelming need to nap. Anyway in the morning I got some work done and in the PM I did all of the prep work for a dinner party for 11 that we’re having in Connecticut on Saturday night.

Anyway here are the iPhone stills from the Barking Dog. One grunged up and the other modified with an app called Percolator, which overwrites the image with patterns of circles that are straight out of Benoit Mandelbrot.

On this day one year ago: musicians at the Union Club.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – There’s a lot going on in the iPhone photo world. Here for example is a site that does an iPhoto every day and reviews apps and the like: the modern iphotographer. Really useful source on apps. I’m sitting here looking at my iPhone 4G. It’s got 13 camera apps. Most cost $1.99. Or less. I’ve sorted out six post processing apps that I like or at least wish that I could master, and six photo information apps that I use when I’m shooting other cameras. This is fun, sort of productive and a real eye-opener. You’ll see a lot more of these over the next few weeks.

This one is an iPhone video still taken at a lunch meeting and processed with PhotoWizard that let me do the center focus thing and grunge it up a bit. there are lots and lots of photo grunge apps. Evidently everyone wants to be a hipster. I can move my visual self to Bushwick without actually having to move there. Cool.
