New One

This exercise started with a new smart phone back in late 2005. The Palm Treo had a basic camera that rendered some interesting, flawed images. That experiment led to film, old cameras, toy cameras, and - eventually - a digital SLR, all focused on Los Angeles and its environs.

Now comes the iPhone. Its jpg files rival those of the four-year-old Nikon DSLR's. The camera is so good that I left the Nikon home when I went on vacation and just used the phone. So there may be some more "phone" images popping up here than there have been over the last few years (this one was shot the other day on Selma Avenue near Cahuenga in Hollywood).

I could do hipstamatic and try and replicate the beauty of the Holga, but I won't. It can't.
