Life in LoFi: iPhoneography

Pixels at an Exhibition
www.pixelsatanexhibition.com
through March 2010

His Name is Freddy

This month, March 2010, I am glad and honored to have been invited to be the first featured photographer for Pixels at an Exhibition. Knox Bronson is the curator and webmaster for PixelEx and helped put together the recent Giorgi Gallery exhibit of iPhone photography.

I recently shot a photo story just for this gallery. They’ll only be posted at PixelEx this month.

I love the spontaneity of shooting with an iPhone. Despite the relatively low resolution of my 2G, it really can take remarkable photos. More importantly, it’s there with me all the time to capture remarkable images. As they say, I have a camera that I sometimes use to make phone calls.

Head over to my intro page on PixelEx and you can click here to view my images.

Thank you, Knox et al, for this opportunity.

I hope y’all enjoy my photography. Thank you for visiting.

Link:  Pixels at an Exhibition

Pixels at an Exhibition at Giorgi Gallery in Berkeley was recently covered by two Bay Area newspapers — The Oakland Tribune and Contra Costa Times. Here’s a link to The Oakland Tribune article, “iPhone enthusiasts mount Berkeley photography exhibit”. The same story was run in both papers. I’m not sure how long this link will stay active.

“While hundreds of the cell phone camera’s fans are passionate about their medium and flock to Web sites such as flickr or use blogs to share their photos, iPhone photography is still very much on the fringes of the mainstream art world. So using a selection of grainy, artful images from his Web site, Bronson and Oakland resident Rae Douglass have mounted “Pixels at an Exhibition” at Berkeley’s Giorgi Gallery, which they believe is the world’s first gallery display devoted exclusively to iPhone photography.”

It’s a good read, great publicity for the gallery show, and more good exposure for the art of iPhoneography.

Pixels at an Exhibition runs through February 27, 2010 at Giorgi Gallery in Berkeley.

Bottom Line: If you’re in or near the Bay Area, this is a Don’t Miss exhibition.

Pixels at an Exhibition, Giorgi Gallery

Pixels at an Exhibition is the first brick and mortar iPhoneography exhibit. While there have been other brick and mortar exhibitions where iPhone photography was a component, Pixels at an Exhibition is the first gallery show to feature iPhoneography exclusively. What organizers and curators Knox Bronson and Rae Douglass have done is to reach out to iPhoneographers around the globe. They’ve created an exhibition that exemplifies what the iPhone is capable of artistically and celebrates a broad range of styles coming from photographers who have embraced the technology of the iPhone and the spontaneity of having an inconspicuous camera with you everywhere you go.

If you’re in or around the Bay Area this weekend, be sure to drop by the opening of Pixels at an Exhibition at Giorgi Gallery in Berkeley, California. The list of finalists has been posted and this looks to be quite an exhibition. The exhibit features works of dozens of iphoneographers from around the globe including Dixon Hamby, Dominique Jost, Valerie Ardini and some guy called Marty (three of my photos were selected!)

The opening is this Saturday from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. We’ll be there and follow up with our impressions of the exhibition and the scope of the work.

LifeInLoFi.com has been helping to promote Giorgi Gallery’s iPhoneography exhibition for several weeks. The exhibition opens at the end of January. I’ve submitted five images for possible inclusion.

Please click the link to go to my photos on iPhontography.org. If you like them, please vote up my photos When In Rhome, Sunday in Starbucks, Light and Fog, Convergence, and A Good Day on US 287. If you enter via the front page, as of Thursday, January 7, they are about 2/3 of the way down the front page.

A lot of great images that have been submitted. I like the geometry and simplicity of Mike Pouliot’s Lock, the power of Frederico Motto’s Homeless, and the captured moment and high contrast of Dixon Hamby’s Ramp. I’m excited about this exhibition as more and more people become aware of the great photos that are being created on the iPhone. If you haven’t submitted your entries yet, deadline for submission is January 15, 2010. Details are on the site.

Thank you!

Note from =M=: Another deadline for a brick-and-mortar iPhoneography exhibition looms, this one on the west coast at the Giorgi Gallery in Berkeley. I’m submitting my 5 images to this exhibit and I’m looking forward to seeing what organizer Knox Bronson has in store for the overall project. I like the idea of a book — the catalog — of the exhibition, and the opportunity it gives for the permanence of print.

Images that have been submitted for this exhibition are currently on display at iphontography.org.
