One of my favorite captures in a long time. A nice thing about shooting on Hollywood Blvd. is that you never have to worry about passers-by getting out of the way of your shot if that’s what you want.

Have you checked out Facebook’s iPhone Photography Competition (IPC) page? Every month, iPhoneographers submit photos based on a chosen theme. The last month’s theme was “Polarized Portrait” – any photo as long as they had the Polaroid instant border. The winner of this competition was iPhoneographer, blogger and fellow Texan Edgar Cuevas with his great photograph “Air Pearls”, shown above.

In yesterday’s “Faved On Flickr,” there were to be an additional couple of images by iPhoneographer Nicholas Corsalini. The images were from his series, “Mugshots”. He posted a few to the Life In LoFi Flickr group and I was blown away by his portraits and his processing of them.

Highlighted in this gallery are several of his excellent Mugshots portraits, as well as some insight into the project from Nicholas himself. I’ve included a link to the complete series at the end of the text.

American Science and Surplus
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
December 24, 2010

If you are ever in Milwaukee, apart from the beer and a highly recommended 5 Card Studs show, you should also stop at American Science and Surplus. It’s been at the same location on West Oklahoma Avenue since Dr. Research was making educational films for Frank Capra.

Stroll through the aisles. You’ll find joy buzzers, sea monkeys, beakers, HAZMAT suits, old pens, and even old rotary dial telephones. It’s like Archie McPhee without the Yodeling Pickles. Oh no wait… that’s aisle 1.

They also have a real Tesla Coil. I want one. Sadly, it’s not for sale, but if you ask nicely, they may fire it up for you.

Every Sunday, we present a small number of the outstanding images that were posted to the Life In LoFi group on Flickr recently.

Wow. It was a prolific holiday season for iPhoneographers. In the two weeks since the last Faved, over 80 pages of images were uploaded to the Life In LoFi Flickr group. Even if you don’t upload, please be sure to look over our Flickr group. There are many many many great images that don’t get posted here.

For the first collection of Faved on Flickr for 2011, I’m pleased to present another strong collection of images. It was very difficult narrowing down the choices for this week’s post.

“Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.”

Ansel Adams said that. Photographer Jordi V. Pou gave that quote to me a year ago. I’m sharing it with you here. This quote was a gift that helped me to put it all into perspective. It helped me to let the photography happen, to let the image find me, to not force a photograph for the sake of taking a photograph. That’s not to say I didn’t shoot two or three — thousand. It just helped to manage my own expectations of my photography. Although camera technology has evolved several times since Adams said that, one thing has remained constant and that is the art of photography really lies with the vision of the photographer. The camera is just a tool.

In lieu of a Faved on Flicker this week, presented here, in no particular order, are my twelve favorite images that I took in 2010. They were narrowed down from the thousands that I shot throughout the year (okay, I take a lot of safety shots…). Many of the images you may have already seen here. A few you haven’t. They all may not be what I consider the best images I took in 2010. They are my twelve personal favorites. There’s a story behind each one.

My favorite photo is the lead photo above. The rest are after the jump.

Here’s hoping that 2011 brings you awesome photos. Here’s to good shooting in 2011 and may you always have great light.
