Photo Locations
On the iPhone you can see locations of places you’ve taken photos. Here’s a screenshot of the map showing where I’ve been this very West coast year.

Photojojo iPhone Lenses
Excited to try these Photojojo iPhone lenses that arrived today, including the telephoto, fisheye, the two-lenses-in-one combo macro and wide angle, and a bonus dino.
Minimalist Landscapes by Cole Thompson
I love these.
Loving Instagram
I didn’t think I needed another iPhone photo app, but turns out I did. Instagr.am mimics other mobile photo-sharing apps, but it’s captured the appeal that comes from extreme minimalism. While you can use it to cross-post to other sites (Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, Tumblr, Foursquare), the web-side is pared down to just the photo page. ...
Google Goggles for iPhone
Searching with Google on your mobile phone can be an eye-opening experience. Now your phone’s camera can even help to find out more about the world around you. Back in December we introduced Google Goggles on Android: it lets you search by taking pictures. Today, we’re excited to announce that Goggles is now a feature ...
ZGrip iPhone Kits
If you’re into shooting video and photos with your iPhone, Zacuto has a line of kits to help with stability, including the ZGrip Junior and Pro. Both are handgrip systems that let you snap the iPhone into the cradle. You can also mount onto a tripod. Ranging from $69 – $295 USD.
MagBooth
Magbooth is the perfect event/party favor. Who doesn’t love a photo booth, complete with LCD video screen for previewing pictures, unlimited prints and web hosting (to view photos, order reprints, download files)? You can rent one from the Magnolia Photo Booth Company if you’re in SF/Bay Area, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Nashville, Chicago, Austin. Would love ...
Photoshop Content-Aware Fill Sneak Peek
Check out this video of a new content-aware fill feature by the Photoshop team. As anyone who’s had to retouch photos knows, this type of correcting and filling by hand is extremely time-consuming, or in some cases, almost impossible (eg. the last example in the video of “filling” the sky). Not sure that this feature ...
Lego Photo App
Lego has released a fun, free application for the iPhone, which lets you transform any photo into a Lego brick mosaic. You can take a new photo with the iPhone camera or use one of out of your library. There are a variety of color filters that you can swipe through and select. Visit the ...
New Camera to Auto-document Your Life
I’m excited to see this story about the next evolution of the SenseCam, which I wrote about a few months ago. A camera you can wear as a pendant to record every moment of your life will soon be launched by a UK-based firm. Originally invented to help jog the memories of people with Alzheimer’s ...
TiltShift Generator for iPhone
Takayuki Fukatsu of Art&Mobile gave me a sneak peak of his new TiltShift Generator for iPhone, which stylizes the miniature effect on photos. Just like Art&Mobile’s other great products, including QuadCamera (see my post) and ToyCamera, TiltShift Generator is easy to use and has a slick and minimal UI. There are controls for blur levels, ...
Photographs by Arturo Marin
“Spanish designer Arturo Marin presents 79-b, a set of pictures documenting what looks like ink or food coloring seeping into water.” Gorgeous. [Via my site, PicoCool]
QuadCamera: Continuous Shooting With your iPhone Camera
QuadCamera is the the 4th release by Art&Mobile of their ToyCamera series and features continuous shooting. Just press the button, and it takes 4-8 serial shots to create one image in multiple dimensions and repetitions: a 4×2 portrait, 4×1, 2×2 landscape, and 8×1 landscape (as shown below). This is great for fast action and motion ...
Creating Panoramic Photos With Your iPhone
One of the main reasons I use my iPhone is to take quick photos. Even though the 2 megapixel camera isn’t the highest quality, it’s the convenience and added iPhone functionality (eg. emailing) and the applications that I enjoy. One of my new favorite apps is Pano by Debacle Software (download from iTunes), which lets ...
Photos Added
Looking through my site FTP directory, I came across a folder for “photos” and remembered that I never finished setting it up or linking to it on my site. There’s now a photos link in the navigation of this site, where you can see recent photos I post to Flickr, as well as my current ...
“Breakthrough” – A Photo Exhibit
The San Francisco Art Commission (SFAC) and JPG Magazine have teamed up for a show called “Breakthrough: An Amateur Photography Revolution.” Every photo submitted to our Breakthrough theme will be displayed in the gallery in some fashion. Some will appear in a grid on the photo wall, some in a slideshow, and a select few ...
Flickr Turns 3
It’s hard to believe Flickr has only been around for a few years. It seems like I’ve been using it much, much longer than three years. That’s testament to its lure, success, and the community that has sprung up around both the service and the lifestyle. Flickr is a seamless part of my digital life. ...
