Awesome Sauce by Sara Tune

We were able to catch up with iPhoneographer Sara Tune recently. Her very cool abstract “Awesome Sauce” won the Mobile Photography Awards in the Juxaposer app category and was overall First Runner-Up and winner of Second Prize in the inaugural MPA. Considering the competition, that’s an even more impressive credential. (Life In LoFi is a media partner of the MPA).

In December, the winners of the Mobile Photography Awards were announced (Life In LoFi is a media partner of the MPA). Among the winners was the abstract industrial “Image pic #35″ by Japan’s Souichi Furusho.

You’ve probably seen a lot of Souichi’s work displayed in Life In LoFi’s Faved On Flickr showcases often. His photography is simple yet stunning. He caught everyone’s attention with his stark use of light and shadow. Recently, he has been creating incredible abstract dreamscapes with his photography.

No. 255 by Lynette Jackson

We’ve been posting the weekly Faved On Flickr showcase since August of 2010. Recently, you may have noticed a lot of images from an iPhoneographer who goes by Page67. That would be Lynette Jackson. Her abstracts caught my eye last summer and she’s been a regular on the weekly showcase since. Her style is unique and mixes high contrast photography, architecture, typography and geometry. I really like her work.

We had a chance to get caught up with Lynette recently. Click past the jump to find out more about this fascinating iPhoneographer.

One of Life In LoFi’s promotional partners is the Mobile Photography Awards and it’s one of the largest, highest profile mobile photography contests to date. The MPA was organized by one of iPhoneography’s pioneers, Daniel Berman. You might also know him online as Reservoir_Dan. Dan has been shooting and exhibiting since the early days of iPhoneography, as well as being a highly visible presence online on both Twitter and Facebook.

As the entries phase of the Mobile Photography Awards ends in about a week, we thought this would be a good opportunity to talk with Dan about the MPA and the state of iPhoneography in general.

Entries are still being accepted through November 30, 2011 — that’s about a week away. Click here for more information.

We’ve got a new addition to the blogroll on Life In LoFi. Be sure to check out iPhoneogenic, a blog which highlights iPhoneographers talking about themselves, as well as their work.

The blogroll in our sidebar isn’t just a place where I swap links. These are links to sites and iPhoneographers whose work I like or blogs I read often. In this “Meet the Sidebar”, we talk with someone who fits both descriptions.

Read past the jump for another look behind our sidebar and meet not only a very talented iPhoneographer, but a prolific blogger as well, Edgar Cuevas.

How two brothers from Wisconsin changed iPhoneography

UPDATED 02.08.10: Now with a link to our follow-up story, “Wausau City Pages uncovers the real Hipstamatic backstory?”

The case can be made that the hottest camera app in the App Store right now was created in 1982.

Hipstamatic (link to Hipstamticapp.com) is one of the most popular photography apps in the App Store at the moment. It’s in the Top 5 in multiple countries. Flickr groups have popped up. The #hipstamatic hashtag is all over Twitter. The app has universally gotten rave reviews, and deservedly so. The environment, the sounds, the photos — it recreates the fun of shooting with an old, plastic, toy camera.

Read Life In LoFi’s full review here.

The original Hipstamatic camera is almost an urban legend. Part of the mystique of the new app is its backstory — that it’s based on the old, plastic camera that few people had heard of, let alone seen.
