NEW YORK NEW YORK – This was a busy day of Holiday preparations. I took exactly one picture with my iPhone. (This will be a relief for those of you who have tired of endless iPhone galleries.) There was a single moment of magical light as I passed a truck with an amazing paint job. The iPhone does a good job of rendering extreme greens. (It’s less successful with reds.) I percolated the image with the Percolator iPhone app – this may have been a gilding-the-lily kind of mistake. Anyway, here it is:

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I met with our friend and designer Antonella Scarsini at B&B Italia to look at some furniture. I captured a nice angle on the Christmas Tree in the courtyard of the Bloomberg Building and a bowl on a tabletop, both with my iPhone. Some work in post: grunging Bloomberg and percolating the bowl.

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.

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.
