iPhone art

in , ,

I don't really enjoy talking on my phone as much as I love to take pictures with it.    I am addicted to it, seriously addicted.  I have had it for about 9 months and I have managed to save over 400o pictures that I refuse to erase.  I am sure I have probably taken double that,  if not more.  I have about 25 photo apps, and about 10 I really want to get.  It's kinda crazy.  But it is also nice to always have a camera with me, because I see something I want to take a picture of everywhere I go.

I snapped a picture of these statues with my Nikon and my iPhone.  I like my phone pictures best.  I have always been drawn to grain and contrast.  This phone and it's apps are great for creating images that are grainy or noisy.   I don't mind if things aren't perfectly in focus.  It reminds me of using my Holga, but I get the instant gratification of digital.

These are all captured and processed with my iPhone.  I get lots of emails about what apps I use, I will try to start including them in my posts when I can remember.  Sometimes I just go crazy with a ton of apps on top of each other until I get something I like.   I used the Mill Color App on the color photos and PS Mobile on the black and white.

The first two were taken at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati.

This was taken at the entrance of a horse farm in Kentucky .

This is one of my favorite iPhone photos I have captured.  I stumbled upon this beauty after I intentionally got myself lost in Boone County.  This one was magic.

A blog about Mondays...

in ,

Monday, the worst day of the week for most people, has always been my favorite day of the week.  I have never been one to keep a "conventional" schedule.   I am a night owl, who enjoys work on the weekends.  Before pursuing photography full time I worked as a waitress/bartender.  As you can imagine, the weekend shifts are the best shifts.  I was always off on Mondays.  It was my day to do whatever I wanted and it is a day that Dave and I have off together.  Luckily photography allows me to still enjoy my Mondays.  I may have a meeting or a photo session here or there, but for the most part it is still my day to play! :)

I had a beautiful wedding on Saturday and rested all day Sunday, by Monday I was ready to get out of the house! :) Dave and I decided to take one of our mini road trips.  This one was full of random adventures... We had Mexican food, visited three parks, held hands, walked by a raccoon sleeping in a tree, kissed, daydreamed, drove by a llama, laughed, and sat in comfortable silence all while traveling over 200 miles through 4 different counties.  We took in every last inch of our surroundings and enjoyed each other all day long.

These are our iPhone photos of the day.

Trying out a new app on Dave.We started in Eden Park.I thought it was cool that my shoes matched  the architecture.

We stumbled onto a wildlife habitat.It is always nice getting lost in Boone County.
