When I’m asked whose iPhoneography I like, I direct people to the sidebar here on Life In LoFi. The photographers in the sidebar represent artists whose work continually blows me away. In addition to widely known iPhoneographers, there are also many there whose work moved or amazed me when I discovered it. This series on LoFi is to introduce you to the photographers who are linked in the sidebar and to give you a little more insight to the people and their work.

This edition features iPhoneographer Ramona Gillentine.

To paraphrase the classic T-shirts that are still available in shops on 7th Avenue at 3 for $10, I love New York. New York is one of the easiest cities I’ve photographed. The people, the architecture, the vibe of the city make for great stories everywhere, and especially great for iPhoneographers.

Two of the features that I like about Knox Bronson’s Pixels At An Exhibition are the monthly Featured Artists (of which I was selected) and the Artist-In-Residence. Both are an extended focus on an iPhoneographer and give you a more in-depth look into some of the best or more personal works of the artist and their work.

This month’s PixelEx Artist-In-Residence is Jaime Ferreyros. I’ve admired Jaime’s work for some time, his photography, his poetry and his iPhoneography. He has an amazing eye for color, contrast, composition and finding the moment.

As he said in a recent interview (link available after the jump), iphontography “allows you to show the beauty that is in everything and everywhere.”

His images are a testament to that philosophy and approach to image-making. His use of color and his sense of composition, as well as his use of apps, are impeccable. As iphontography has recently emerged from its infancy as an art form, Jaime stands out as one of the pioneers of this new medium.

Well-deserved congratulations to Jaime for being selected as this month’s Pixels At An Exhibition’s Artist-In-Residence.

Here’s an interesting project from photographer Kevin Bauman. It wasn’t photographed with an iPhone, but it’s a very interesting collection of photography from a city that I became fascinated with over ten years ago. The project is called “100 Abandoned Houses” and viewed as whole, I think it’s a stunning, personal photojournal of the decline of one of the U.S.’ great cities.

Ten years ago, I flew to Detroit to catch one of the last baseball games at Tiger Stadium. My friend was a great hostess and drove me around the city, where I saw hundreds of beautiful old buildings mostly abandoned. I could imagine many of these houses were striking in their day. Restored, they’d be mansions here.

As we drove around these old, former neighborhoods, I couldn’t help but think that parts of Detroit were a city in ruins. My friend, Kelly, told me that the backlog for the city to demolish these old buildings was 20 years.

Built with auto industry money, most of these beautiful old houses are now beyond repair.

I like Kevin Bauman’s style of shooting these old houses. His framing is simple and consistent. Every shot is a full-frontal. When viewed as a whole, to me it’s an impressive piece of work.
