Photographic images created entirely on an iPhone. Experience the mobile revolution as photographers and artists alike are choosing a smartphone as their camera of choice. Compact, lightweight, powerful and always within reach, this small device is creating a new genre in photography.
Both Sion Fullana and Anton Kawasaki are in Atlanta this evening for the Opening Night reception. I highly recommend attending if you can. Sion and Anton are great to meet and talk with in person.
