iPhoneography: Fad or Here to Stay?

Hello everyone! I hope everybody is having a great weekend; I definitely took advantage of the sun yesterday, which is good because I don't know if it's going to really be around today or not.

So for the past 6 months or so, I've been hearing rumors of this new movement in photography, iphoneography. It's basically what it sounds like, photography done with your iPhone. I find this to be an interesting idea. I don't know that I completely see it as a valid form of photography, but people have always said that throughout the years about various forms of photography, so maybe I shouldn't judge. I know there are some photographers who are very into it, and people are even trying to specialize in it. Not to be too much of a purist, but, huh???

So I set out recently with my iPhone in hand to grab a couple of quick shots to see what I could actually do with this. I didn't have alot of time, and if I'm honest, I was distracted by the fact that there was actual sun (been a very gray summer in the NW so far this year). But I digress. I thought it would be best to just show you the results I got, so you can make your own opinions.


So, what do you think? You can only tell so much from this image, but it seems a bit blurry in places,and I have a pretty steady hand.

What are your opinions of iphoneography? Do you think it's a budding new trend in photography, something that will stick around, or just a fad that will quickly wear out? Let me know. Have a great week, and enjoy that sun!
