Life in LoFi: iPhoneography

October 2-5, 2009

In Seattle, some of the things I saw, while gorgeous in their color and saturation, took on an entirely different feeling once that element was stripped out and the images were reduced to their essentials in black and white. “Barstools…” evokes a much grittier feeling when the color is stripped away. It has a feeling of the smoky, dusty early 60’s dive bars. The Photobooth against the cinderblock stands as a timeless monument in an empty amusement park. The natural contrast between the brightly lit Space Needle and the darkness of the night sky plays off each other well in color or black and white.
