The American Airport - A Short iPhone Odyssey
What a great day I had yesterday flying home from Minneapolis. Hard to believe as I am a ardent hater of airports. But my iPhone has changed all that. I started taking pixs of traveler's quiet desperation and then began to tweek. Ended up using the Picasso filter on the ArtCamera application to come up with a look that seemed a little more Francis Bacon than Picasso, but nevertheless gave the photos a flattened posterization that dehumanized them, much the way an airports dehumanizes us all. Enjoy! -- dewitt

In The Flow
"If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water," said Loren Eisley. And while we were in the High Sierra, we were captivated by water. I shot these images with one of my "toy" cameras - a point and shoot Lumix by Panasonic (yep, the VCR and what have you people) model DMC-FZ18. I used ND filter to slow the shutter speed down giving a flowing, abstract look to the water. And wait til you see what the Digital Dude shot. I'm sure he'll post some soon. Anyway, here are a couple to start with:

More iPHone Magic Photos
Here are some recent pix from the Digital Diva in no apparent order.
Baldwin Beach sunset was taken long after dusk - HDR applied in PhotoForge along with vibrance and sharpening. Frame from Frame Muse app. Yep that's the moon up in the sky there.
Finger painting of this flower taken on the Scott Kelby Photowalk in Lake Tahoe done in Photo Forge. Let me just say that this technique is very time intensive but so worth it. And it was taught to me by the Digital Dude, my handsome photographer mate, Dewitt Jones.
This high Sierra Meadow shot was manipulated in Photogene, then used ShockMyPic app.
Finally, this shot has not been worked at all -just a straight iPhone shot of me and my good cowgirl friend, Theresa, just before we climbed on our horses to ride high into the Sierra Nevada mountains. As my good friend and National Geographic photographer Rikki Cooke says "It's the core gesture." Look for his seminar in April in Hawaii (co-taught by Dewitt Jones and fine art photographer Theresa Airey) at beautiful Hui Hoolana.

Flights of Fancy from the Digital Dude
Dewitt is traveling today - here's some of what he's come up with whilst eastbound:
I'm sure he'll give the details of how he did these from the road - wait for it..........

Scott Kelby Photowalk 2009 Lake Tahoe
This is the second year Theresa Souers and I (the Digital Diva) have done the Scott Kelby International Photowalk here in Lake Tahoe. Like last year's walk, it was hosted by wildly talented professional photographer Jim Stamates (one of my goals is to go on one of his annual Costa Rica excursions.) Anyway, it was so much fun -again. Here' s a few of my favorite digital pix from the day.
