afters much deliberation i’ve gone to the iPhone. it’s fantastic! with bluetooth on, the phone starts streaming audio when i turn on the car and it stops when i turn off the car. then it starts the next time at the right spot. siri takes me places and shows me things. it is all very well put together.

that means a transfer from the droid. it served me well. yesterday i moved all its pics to the pc. there were many i intended to add to this blog. i’ve found that my most expressive pictures seem to come from my cellphone. they can be grainy, poorly exposed, and have no depth of field. but they have depth of expression. the droid was always there, in the moment. it caught the feeling. people are not as intimidated staring into the barrel of a cell phone as the are staring into the barrel of a DSLR. i would not trade my carefully crafted, gigapixel landscape shots from around the world for anything but they serve different purposes. in the case of my droid, the message of the media is: always there.  and, ‘this is what i was feeling’.

i’m going to post a series of after-the-fact pictures as i cull through the old shots. it’s surprising how vivid the memories are.

and as for the iPhone 5, i hope the camera is not too good.
