Waiting for the Perfect Wave
Cindy Patrick on her Co-Winning Beachlife Category image Waiting for the Perfect Wave. I absolutely love the beach! I have friends who own a house in the Hamptons (NY) and I try to spend a few weeks out there every summer. I like to roam up and down the beach and just capture people enjoying [...]
Tiny Details with Robert-Paul Jansen
I’ve always used the camera on my mobile phone to take the occasional photo, but that all changed in the beginning of 2010 when I started to take a lot of photos using my iPhone 3G. My new creative life was born. I live in a very small village in the south of the Netherlands, [...]
Giuseppe Capozzo A.K.A Krapoz on You, Too
Winner of the ScratchCam category. I had just come out of a supermarket, heading to my car in the parking lot when, suddenly, I was struck by the beauty of the sky and clouds above my eyes. It was a lovely day in July, just before sunset, and I caught the breeze of mild summer [...]
Dandelion Wishes
Tony Docherty on DANDELION WISHES – WINNER OF THE PEOPLE/PORTRAIT CATEGORY. Dandelion Wishes is actually a combination of two images. I first shot the Dandelion while out walking. It was such a good specimen that I knew I had to use it but it sat on my phone for weeks. Over the years I’ve taken [...]
One More for the Bronx
Jordan Cortese on ONE MORE FOR THE BRONX – WINNER OF THE SUNLIGHT CATEGORY Often times we photographers shoot an image not really knowing why it means so much to us and it’s often later, in the processing, that a story begins to unfold similar to the feeling of editing a film.
The Children of Panama – an iPhoneographic essay
Here at the MPA we are big fans of music. We often liken a single picture to a song and a series of images to a full-length LP (remember the LP?) – the idea being the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Each of the shots in the gallery below by iPhoneographer [...]
My Life’s a Trip – with Jen Pollack Bianco
Not enough has been said about what an incredible tool the mobile camera is for travel photography. I was raised on a steady diet of National Geographic magazines and those classic pictures fed my dreams and wanderlust. To this day, travel never fails to fill me with child-like wonder, and though I’ve racked up my [...]
Mr. Horatio…
ROBERT HEROLD on THE VISITATION OF MR. HORATIO – I was really happy with the recognition of this image, because I have a special relationship with it. The constellation of taking it was one of those moments that rarely occurs. This is when you feel that everything is condensing in an exciting sequence of actions [...]
APPSTRACTIONS or if Rothko had an iPhone
I’m a big fan of the abstract expressionist painters — Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Jackson Pollack — that 1950′s New York thing. I sense great freedom in this kind of imagery, the colors and shapes interacting like jazz musicians improvising without the constraint of the chord changes. If I could paint I [...]
erin mcann on subway singers
I get off work at 5 am, so my commute home happens when the rest of the city is usually still asleep. Sometimes, though, I catch the tail end of someone’s late night out, and that’s what happened here, at 5 am one Saturday morning in the Union Square subway station in New York. I [...]
