a.k.a. a love letter to my iPhone

There are schools of thought that say a photographer should bring her camera everywhere she goes. Well... as much as I agree that's a great idea, I really don't follow that school of thought as much as I probably should (my camera is a bit of a beast). However, I do bring my iPhone with me most places I go. Consequently, I get shots of random life-stuff from time to time and will post them on Facebook. I just took a look at that small collection of thumbnails and it made me smile.

Most are happy little insignificant moments that would have otherwise gone unrecorded and unnoticed. Thanks to the iPhone and social media, they're now out there as a mini-reflection of what I'm all about.

By the way, I'm not going to pretend that the idea to post iPhone thumbnails was all my idea. I follow photographer Jasmine Star's blog and she posted her iPhone photos of a recent New York trip.
