faux-tography

these days, almost everyone owns a DSLR camera.  but just because you own one and watermark all your pictures with "my name photography" does not mean you're a professional photographer!  i'm just saying ;)

i've been loving using my iphone to take blog pictures because it totally simplifies things...snap photo, crop & apply instagram filter, email and done!  it really makes for some great faux-tography.  you can even get the latest and greatest faux-vintage* look in seconds!  i'll admit...i've come to love this look myself.  not sure if it will be cool in 10 years, though.

*i find it a little ironic that we are in constant search for the highest resolution cameras but then post-process the images to look old/faded/washed-out.  who popularized this look, anyway?  baffling!  perhaps it's a psychological thing where the faux-vintage photos take people back to the good ol' days, when life was much simpler blah blah blah...i think they call it nostalgia.  heh.
