Beyond

I enjoy taking photographs with my iPhone. It doesn't have the same qualities of a conventional camera, of course, and I can't adjust the focus or the exposure — but it's always with me, should I come across something I want to share, or to remember. And I enjoy the challenge of trying to coax something worthwhile out of the humble iPhone camera under different circumstances.

Over the past several months, I've been collecting and posting my favorite images to another blog: In The Back Of Beyond. All of the photos you'll see there have been taken with the iPhone (and most likely will be for the forseeable future, as my wife has lost the digital camera).

Most have no more than simple color correction and contrast adjustment, and a few have been left completely unaltered — I've been pleasantly surprised by the vivid color the iPhone can capture. I've tried to avoid too much post-processing and jiggery-pokery (that's the technical term, you know) in Photoshop — though there have been occasions when I've wanted to try something different, such as this series of photos that were converted to black-and-white.

I don't always post new photos as often as I'd like — that depends on what catches my eye at any given moment! — but I try to do so as often as I can. I invite you to check in from time to time, to see where I've been. Comments are always welcome.
