Life in LoFi: iPhoneography

Sion Fullana, Greg Schmigel, MissPixels and Marco La Civita, invited photographers to the inaugural eyephoneography show

-

Linking the digital world back to the physical one and supporting an emerging way of taking and sharing pictures that tell unique stories: this is the goal of eyephoneography. The first exhibit of this initiative will be launched next September in Spain aiming to promote mobile photography by offering various interaction opportunities for photographers and their audiences.

This initial show features the work of four international iPhoneographers: Greg Schmigel, Marco La Civita, Miss Pixels, and Sion Fullana.

eyephonography #1 opens September 17, 2010 at The Hub in Madrid, Spain. You can visit eyephoneography.com and follow us via RSS, the project’s Facebook page or Twitter @eyephoneography.

I’ve reprinted the most recent press release in it’s entirety below. It’s a long but interesting read with good history and insights from the four selected iPhoneographers.

My Kodak Vollenda

I used to read Popular Photography magazine religiously as a kid, back when I was shooting Black & White 127 film on the old Kodak Vollenda camera that my grandfather had given me (which I display proudly on the mantle between my Willie Mays and Ken Griffey Jr. AND Sr. baseballs). At that time, I never really understood a lot of the techniques and as a middle schooler, I was never going to be able to afford any of the equipment that was reviewed. The showcases were nice, though, and Pop Photo helped inspire me to think visual.

Recently, PopPhoto published a piece about iPhoneography which interviews and showcases Chase Jarvis, Sion Fullana, Lisa Wiseman and Greg Schmigel. A friend of mine, photographer Greg Woodson, pointed me in the direction of this article. It’s a good read.
