This photograph, as all the others, was taken with the iPhone 6.

I put away the heavy gear years ago and enjoyed a very nice, lightweight Nikon with built-in 18x optical zoom. I still enjoy it; it’s been fine for blogging and other site posts. But something crazy happened: instead of graduating to a big-ass camera with all the accoutrements, I remained satisfied.

When I got an iPhone 5 I began to find something fresh about it being with me all the time, being available and having a zen-like simplicity. Then I got “the 6.” It was a better camera and I began to decode the settings and to learn the apple language.

There are actually people out there who are way ahead in making incredible art with iPhone photos. I am at the end of a 2 month course, complete with assignments and the word is out: the iPhone is a camera and not a bad one at that.

I won’t display any complicated work for now but suffice it to say, that photographs are clear and satisfying, and would you believe, they have various depths.

These are some lenses by olloclip that snap onto the iPhone. Depending on which lens you snap on where and whether you unscrew part of the lens you have: telephoto, wide angle, and three powers of macro.

For now I’ll post some iPhone photos, which by the way, you’ve been looking at for over a year, but now I am getting my game on.

Learning a new language is cool. I’m just beginning.
