iPhoneography: Faved On Flickr 09.04.11

Emergence by Gladly Beyond

I’ve been asked recently if I’m still doing Faved On Flickr. The answer is a resounding yes. The weekly Faved feature was a temporary victim of the usual overall busy-ness in work, personal and travel aspects of my life.

To be fair to all of the iPhoneographers who shared their images in Life In LoFi’s Flickr Group over the past several weeks, I’ll be playing catch-up. This is the first of two Faved features this week with images selected from the thousands shared to the Flickr group. The bulk of these images were shared at the beginning of September. The rest, I’ll share later this week.

Read on to see the photos in this week’s gallery. >>>

One of the things that has spoiled me as a curator when going through the images is how well many iPhoneographers can start with a great photograph and then apply the perfect processing, whether it’s from one app or several. When the apping complements and enhances the image, whether simple or complex, that to me is true iPhoneography. It’s a perfect storm of chance, the photographer’s eye, creative, and production. iPhoneography is more than just apping. It’s a unique enhancement of what the photographer’s camera sees.

Over the past several weeks, some amazing images have been created and shared. Some of the most stunning are the portrait work and street photography. Some of the portraits shared — whether they’re family, friends or strangers — seems to have captured the subject’s spirit. Some of the street photography submitted tells a moving, sometimes powerful story. Several of them are included here.

I think Gladly Beyond’s stunning abstract “Emergence” is a fitting and visually strong lead image for this week’s Faved. Chris Harland (Grangefirth) is better known for his gorgeous landscapes, but has shared one of his most powerful and personal photos this week, “Evan, 2 days old”. Other iPhoneographers represented today are Greg Schmigel, Alexander Kesselaar, Andy Royston, MissPixels, Robson Santos, Dixon Hamby, Jennifer Bracewell, Souichi Furusho, Alessandro Greganti, and many, many others.

Links go back to the iPhonegrapher’s Flickr photostream. I encourage you to follow links and get to know iPhoneographers whose work catches your eye.

For your chance to be seen in this feature, all you have to do is be a member of the Flickr group, post, and keep adding great images. Here’s the link to Life In LoFi on Flickr. Then, check back here every Sunday (mostly). We’ll have more.

It’s good to have the time again to share these images. I hope you enjoy the photography in this week’s showcase. Many thanks to the iPhoneographers who post and share their works and vision.
