Nacho Cordova is another iPhoneographer whose images I really like. His photography is moody. His online gallery is filled with monochromes. I think he does an excellent job of capturing genuine personality in his portraits that go beyond snapshots. His blog and his thoughts on iPhoneography, lomography, and photography in general are excellent, insightful reads.

In celebration of the unveiling of this new version of his Foto-Rhetoric site, they are holding a brief iPhoneography Challenge with FIVE prizes for the top five participants.

The submission deadline has been extended. Last day for submissions is Monday, August 16, 2010.

Submission info and prize listings after the jump. >>>

The HipShootOut Exhibition in Dallas, Texas opened Saturday, July 31, 2010 at the Visual Arts Center Gallery on the University of Texas-Dallas campus. The event was presented by Intownmix and Photopolus DFW. Part of the proceeds went to raise milk money for a free mobile summer lunch program AmeriCorps and Central Dallas Ministries called Food on the Move, a program that provides more than 500,000 meals for kids in low income areas in Dallas.

The exhibition was part of a non-credit class offered at UTD recently, although submissions for the exhibit were open to anyone. How did Dallas Hipstas do? My thoughts after the jump.

If you’re in or around the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex tomorrow, Saturday, July 31, 2010, check out one of the area’s first brick and mortar exhibits of iPhone photography.

This exhibit is part of a non-credit class previously offered at the University of Dallas, but submissions were open to all. I’m excited about this event right here in my own backyard. I’ll have three photos on display and I can’t wait to see the homegrown iPhoneography that Dallas-based photographer Ange Fitzgerald’s class created.

Proceeds from this event benefit local Dallas charities.

Linking the digital world back to the physical one and supporting an emerging way of taking and sharing pictures that tell unique stories: this is the goal of eyephoneography. The first exhibit of this initiative will be launched next September in Spain aiming to promote mobile photography by offering various interaction opportunities for photographers and their audiences.

This initial show features the work of four international iPhoneographers: Greg Schmigel, Marco La Civita, Miss Pixels, and Sion Fullana.

eyephonography #1 opens September 17, 2010 at The Hub in Madrid, Spain. You can visit eyephoneography.com and follow us via RSS, the project’s Facebook page or Twitter @eyephoneography.

I’ve reprinted the most recent press release in it’s entirety below. It’s a long but interesting read with good history and insights from the four selected iPhoneographers.
