Is iPhone photography a bit like cheating?

Ever since I downloaded Cameramatic, I've become a bit obsessed with my iPhone. I want to take pictures of everything. Well, I always want to take pictures of everything, but the iPhone apps transform the most boring subjects into ... dare, I say ... art?! Which leads me to wonder ... is iPhone photography using apps like Cameramatic or Hipstamatic or {insert picture taking iPhone app in here} a bit like cheating?

The Blue Road Series I

Unless it's the weekend, my opportunities to photograph are generally limited to my drive in to work and back from work, therefore, the road is becoming a familiar subject and I'm starting to notice and work with the colors, the signs, the traffic patterns, the birds on a wire. I used the 60 hex for the 1st and last image and the 50 Zeiss Sonnar for the 2nd image.

Having Fun With Color ...

... or some might say I'm losing it. :)  Steam and color changing light at night, iPhone & Cameramatic.
I wonder what these will look like in print?!

Metro Series I (B & W)

The Lunar New Year is almost here ...

I woke up to this ...

Lake Elkhorn

I'm getting a taste of what the world must be like for a child (and yeah, you can infer from that statement that I don't remember my own discovery of the world as a child).  I find myself looking around with amazement and delight at the newness of most things that surround me.  So many new things to explore and discover ... new roads, new house designs, new lifestyles.  We had a beautiful sunny crisp day and I decided to make a quick stop at Lake Elkhorn during my lunch break.  I expected to find a deserted site, but instead I ran into lots of people who were there walking, walking their dogs, walking their babies, running, having their lunch.  What an awesome little trip!

Skating at the Square

I needed to get out and take some pictures today ... bad.  I have all these ideas in my mind about what I want to photograph, or rather I have this image of the results in my head.  Not quite there yet, still chasing those ideas.
