Of Mirrors by Nacho Cordova

On Saturday, iPhoneography lost one of its brightest stars.

Nacho Cordova was an artist with a gifted eye. He was a teacher. He was a husband and a father. In all my contact with Nacho both direct and indirect, he was polite, respectful of others and gracious. Nacho was a good guy. He touched many, many people in his life as evidenced by the pages and pages of tributes left on his Facebook wall. Nacho Cordova leaves a void and will be missed by many.

Over the weekend, many iPhoneographers began posting tribute photos in memory of Nacho. Life in LoFi and the iPhoneogenic blogs present many of those tribute images here in remembrance of our colleague and our friend.

Nathaniel I. Cordova | October 22, 1964 - July, 16th 2011

It’s a sad day in the iPhoneography community. This weekend, we lost one of our own. Yesterday, Nathaniel “Nacho” Cordova was involved in a fatal collision involving his motorcycle and a pickup truck pulling a 28-foot travel trailer. Nacho was 46.

In addition to his iPhone photography, Nacho was a popular associate professor and chairman of rhetoric and media studies at Willamette University.

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.
