Life in LoFi: iPhoneography | iPhone Photo News, Showcases, App Reviews

iPhoneographer Dixon Hamby, whose tweet I followed to find this, said it best.

“This is sad.”

We are using the past tense, because the eyephoneography #1 show has now been suspended. It was supposed to last until October 1st, but the 48 exhibited images that had attracted so much interest in the past days were torn down by some people of the HUB-Madrid. It was a raptus of inexplicable madness that we are still digesting and thinking how to deal with.

Knox Bronson’s Pixels – The Art of the iPhone is presenting the first iPhone photography exhibits directly associated with Apple. Up to now, Apple has sold us iPhones and apps to take the pictures, but hasn’t yet exhibited in-store what the iPhone is capable of. These are significant events.

Knox also coordinated the first brick-and-mortar iPhoneography exhibit, “Pixels at an Exhibition” in Berkeley, California in February, 2010.

September 17th, that’s about ten days until eyephoneography, a high-visibility exhibition at The Hub in Madrid, Spain. This inaugural show features the works of Sion Fullana, Marco La Civita, Isabelle “MissPixels” Gagné, and Greg Schmigel.

We’d recently posted links to interviews with others in the exhibit’s selection committee. As we get closer to the opening of the exhibit, here is a link to a recent interview with selection committee member Cayetana de la Quadra-Salcedo.

Like the other members of the selection committee, her thoughts on her favorite images are insightful. Overall, the selection committee’s insights have been for me an interesting look into what the mindset is when curating an artistic event with a global reach like this one.

“[Mobile photography] is a new form of communication, supported by a new technology, and it is when the technique is mastered, that the artistic distillation appears. I think this movement should retain its freshness as a trait, accepting imperfection as a possible language so as to differentiate itself from other photographic disciplines.”

Read her entire interview here on eyephonography.com.

The agenda for eyephonography’s opening weekend, September 17-18, 2010, is here.

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. >>>
