I began posting portfolios of images shot with my iPhone more than two years ago now. And my love affair isn’t wearing off, it’s growing stronger. The best camera still is–and always will be–the one that’s with you.
I post iPhone snapshots everyday to my twitter, facebook, and www.thebestcamera.com, but I haven’t updated my iPhone portfolio page in quite some time.
Until yesterday.
I dug through a huge pile of images and completely refreshed the gallery with some new favorites. Scott and I are in a little disagreement as to which ones are hot and which ones are not. As such, I’d love some of your targeted feedback. Please visit my new iPhone portfolio page here and tell me in the comments below which image is your most favorite AND which is your least favorite image. We’ll did this crowd-sourced edit once before and it was really helpful. We’ll make some changes if a pattern emerges.
Since there’s work involved in your edit, I’ll give some shoutouts and send a signed book or three to some randomly selected people who are willing to lend a hand with editing thoughts. Thanks in advance for your time.—
[Shameless plug: In case you’re new here or just wondering, I created–and shared–most of these using the app I developed last fall called Best Camera, available on iTunes.]
Not sure if you are still up for comments, but anyhow..
The way you use the diptychs is great, i.e. the shattered glass vs. the spider web just sings, hard – soft, wet – dry. I could look at that aspect in the use of the the diptychs and see more and more of that contrast and also parallels in the images throughout the folio.
That is what ties the whole thing together and makes it work for me.
The final image is great, even more so if you didn’t set it up and just managed to pull out the phone and grab it.
Most Fave: 2
Least Fave: 13 (mostly because I’m vegetarian and it’s awful to me that people think of animals as “consumables”)
As the one in charge of the contests and prizes here at Chase Jarvis Inc. I’d like to thank all of you who contributed with your opinion, thoughts and ideas through this assignment (if you will), it was very important so we could go through each and every comment, see other viewpoints and also gather everything in a chart and evaluate if there were any patterns, so your opinion will help shape the iPhone Portfolio page.
And as a special thanks, a book is on the way for @ylDave, @Aimee Greeblemonkey, @Taylor, @Chad Conington for your insightful support.
Thanks everyone!
