If you’re as excited about Sony’s new Smartphone Lenses as we are, you’ll want to watch this video!

The highlights:

Works wirelessly with iPhone and Android

18-20MP, Optical zoom, Carl Zeiss optics

MUCH larger built-in sensor than your phone’s camera

We got a chance to try these last week and loved what we saw. Here’s a couple detailed hands-on accounts: AppleInsider, Gigaom.

Chad Wright - Master Plan (2013)

"For the first part of this series, Wright created a mould in the form of an L-shaped suburban dwelling, and set out a series of sand castles on his local beach. This scale-model suburbia was washed away by the tide, which perhaps urges us to consider the relative transience of so solid a symbol of the American dream, particularly since the 2007 subprime mortgage collapse. "

Artist’s statement: 

These still life arrangements by Jim Golden would make incredible wall posters. Jim got his start at a New York City advertising firm where he was a visual effects specialist. 

After a few years in the corporate grind, he packed his bags and opened his own photography studio in Portland, Oregon.

The American West has been known as the final frontier. Photographer Jeremy Wade Shockley set out with his iPhone to document the West with a fresh perspective. He writes:

iPhone photography is a way for me to ‘see’ again, beautifully blurring the line between assignments and the moments in between. The life I live. Documenting my immediate surroundings comes naturally to me.
