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. >>>

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.

intownmix is sponsoring the HipShootOut Exhibit here in Dallas tomorrow evening. 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.

The recent EYE’EM Exhibition at the Schlechtriem Brothers Gallery in Berlin Mitte has closed, but not before generating a lot of press and excitement.

While several iPhoneographers who had works selected for display were able to attend, many of us were unable to get to the gallery to see this exhibit in person. EYE’EM have posted a great retrospective of the show, the gallery and the attendees on their blog.

3000+ submissions, 144 shortlists, 14 runner-ups, 1 winner…later, we are even more convinced that mobile photography, as a medium, has the potential to conquer the global art scene and make it as an independent art form. EYE’EM started as a blog a couple of months ago and we are absolutely amazed to which level YOU guys have pushed this movement so far! Therefore a big thank you from our side. WE believe that this is just the beginning! To give you, especially those of you who couldn’t come to Berlin, an idea of what happened at our exhibition

EYE’EM will be making a big announcement in the coming days. Life In LoFi will keep you posted on any breaking news and events.

Do you still believe that the camera makes the photographer? The i.Phoneography Exhibition believes in the creative power of the gaze, in a new way to describe contemporaneity. Organized by Arteaparte, The i.Phoneography Exhibition is the first Italian contest of photographs taken and edited with an iPhone. This is a language for images that becomes an art laboratory, and that involves a growing number of iPhoneographers from all around the world.
