My day-dream plans derailed



It only feel like yesterday since my last post and in that measure of time, fuel prices have spiraled upward, derailing my day-dream plans for a road trip in a couple of months.


Despite it being only postponed for a year, this will permit me to set aside funds whenever they become available, in the meantime I will be able to better prepare myself sinceI will have a year to do the research and develop a complete itinerary.

While briefly being disappointed, in the end it may have all worked out for the better. Especially since my son gave me an iPhone 4S last Christmas, the gift has rekindled a new passion for photography, exploring the  iPhone’s camera capabilities and limitations.


Using a smartphone to create iPhoneography art, this has me looking at the concept of photography differently and to develop my own interpretation of Iphoneography. Once I have established good foundation and a small body of work, I will then venture into Instagram, that which actually launched iPhoneography.

The two images in the post were just taken yesterday using the iPhone, while being at an IKEA store, when I saw a section of the concrete floor where the carpet had been removed and leaving traces of adhesive, bolts and contractors blue and red markings. It simply underscores y excitement  at the iPhone’s camera immediacy. Though the camera lacks some functions and software capabilities, it is a wonderful alternative to carrying around a camera that is not only bulky, but also weighs several pounds.







Thank you for your visit
