iPhoneography Central’s Apps Uncovered featured a mobile photograph of mine, “Stepping Forward, Let’s Hold Hands,” on Sunday, January 19th.

I was delighted to see this feature of “Perseverance” on iPhoneographyCentral.com on September 6, 2020.

“In the Midst of the Pandemic, She Was Anything But Sure of Her Footing” was featured on iPhoneography Central on May 3rd in Apps Uncovered.

Ahhhhhhh, this slice of the grace of Spring is showing all over the iPhone art world lately! Today, “Good God, How I Want to Kiss You!” is featured on iPhoneographyCentral. 

Here’s a link to see it online amongst the other images featured by Nicki Fitzgerald under the theme, “A Beautiful Thing is Not Perfect,” which is, of course, only 100% true: https://iphoneographycentral.com/a-beautiful-thing-is-not-perfect-apps-uncovered-24-march-2019/

Here’s the backstory about this image that I shared with Nicki: 

“Apps used: As far is this image is concerned, I honestly don’t remember what camera app I used to capture it. Looking at it, I would expect it was Camera+.

Edited in iColoramaS, enlarged it using 2x and then amplified some details with LightBrush and softened the whole image with LensD.

Backstory: The base capture for this piece is an image that my Google Photos account sent back to me this year on the anniversary of its capture, March 15. I love how that works!

I didn’t develop this image two years ago because something else was at the front of my mind. Right now I don’t remember what. This year, when the image came through my feed, I jumped on it. It made me so happy to see the joyful dance of these blossoms.

Spring has been weirdly slow this year in southern Oregon. Many of us gardeners are talking about how worried we feel. It’s only this week that my daffodils came to bloom. They should’ve been out three or four weeks ago. Tulips are sprouting their green leaves, but they, too, should be in full bloom right now. My archives show me they have been wide open blossoms by now for the last three years. Not this one.

It’s deeply worrisome, watching climate change working its slow way into human consciousness.

I am so grateful that Google Photos is serving me my own observations from previous years. They help me make sense of my ongoing life.

As far is this image is concerned, I honestly don’t remember what camera app I used to capture it. Looking at it, I would expect it was Camera+.

To edit it, I opened it in iColoramaS (I still so often edit right in my phone) and adjusted the tones and softened the light. It may not have been Camera+ that I shot it with because after I finished editing it in iC, the file size was still too small to print. So I enlarged it using 2x and then amplified some details with LightBrush and softened the whole image with LensD.

Yesterday, May 13th, the highly educative mobile art blog, iPhoneographyCentral.com, included “Nobody’s Right If Everybody’s Wrong” in their feature, Apps Uncovered - Infinity and Beyond.
