When the moment strikes

Boy am I happy that I a) had my iPhone camera with me and that b) I made this image when I did:

Edited in the iPhone 3GS using Photogene and Best Camera apps. Ambient lighting only.

I walked by this image while running some errands one weekend. Something about it spoke to me, and for a split-second I thought, "Oh I'll grab it on the way back to my car." But then I dropped my shopping bag, took out my iPhone --This image screamed best Camera App-- and grabbed a shot or two.

On my way back to my car, the shopping center security guard had two teenage (or tweenage) skateboarders off to the side of the low wall the broken skateboard was sitting on, and my subject --gasp!-- on the ground.

This image reminds me to stop saying, "I'll get that later". There might not be a later, no matter the subject matter.

Thanks for stopping by!

Home reflection

Home reflection, originally uploaded by kej328.

Testing out the ability to blog from my Flickr page.

What better than to test it out with a nice reflection of my favorite place? A different view of home, certainly I never really see it like this.

And taken on the fly with the iPhone, edited with Photogene.

Thanks for stopping by!

Adorama iPhone Contest

Back from a lovely cruise to the Mexican Riveria. I got one photo that I absolutely LOVE, it just needs to be tweaked a bit. Coming soon. Before I left for vacation I found out that I was one of the lucky recipients of Chase Jarvis' "The Best Camera" through Adorama's iPhone contest. Here is the photo I entered for consideration:

Taken with my iPhone and edited it using the Photoshop and Photogene applications for the iPhone.

Some pretty amazing photographers were judges for the contest, so I am honored that they even SAW my photo. To win something cool for entering is even better.

I received the book earlier this week and have renewed my spark to take photos with my iPhone.

Thank you to Adorama for creating this contest, Chase Jarvis for the inspiration, and the talented judges who took the time to even glance at my photo.

And of course, thank you for stopping by.
