Eye Could Be With You – Single Image Sundays

“Tonight I could be with you,
waiting in the wings…”

–Bauhaus, Spirit

Here’s a montage I created recently via iphone using the apps PhotoForge2 and Noir. See the original elements at my Flickr stream.

From Music and Words into Movement – The Fun of Art

Here’s an excerpt of a deftly written story by Mike Sager from the May 2012Esquire. I wasn’t that interested at first, but after giving it a chance while streaming some music, I was knocked over by one of those transcendent moments that come about through experiencing real art. Or something like that.

“Ugly” by Mike Sager. This paragraph with the right music playing at the time was like watching a live-action portrayal of The Grapes of Wrath. So I noted the image with the Labelbox app for future use in this post. Click for full article at Esquire.com.

The above paragraph is best experienced with music: Orsten – Adagio Sostenuto

I hear the broken piano and shuffling yet determined electric beat, and reading the story of this vagabond, seeking out other vagabonds, having the scene painted along the lines of something modern-day that would make sense to Tom Joad, it hits me at once.

And that’s why I read. That’s why I love music. That’s why I’ve made myself adept with an iPhone enough to capture the moment,then blog about it (typed most of this post in a note with my thumbs).

There’s beauty in being moved, expanding on the thought and then channeling that into something new altogether, even if it is just a pastiche of other art. Those pieces become the colors of a new palette. What’s important is that the idea gets sketched, moving from the brain into the living world, to be seen. It’s a very satisfying feeling.

Next time you have the thought when something moves you, “I could do something with that!” — make it happen. Make it real.

Sandpaper Kisses with a Sunbaked Flower

Martina Topley-Bird‘s “Sandpaper Kisses” is the background track for this movie I assembled using the Splice app on my iPhone. I noticed this dried flower on my porch, and discovered this spacey track a few days before. I shot these images and some video elements with a Photojojo macro lens, some with the Hipstamaticapp. I’m still blown away by how easily and effectively Splice lets you tap your way to a video/photo montage.

What do you think? Do you do any video edits on your smartphone? Have you ever set photos to music? What’s your impression of the process? Let us hear from you in the comments!

Cheers With A Sleeve Tattoo – Single Image Sundays

It just so happened that my phone was ready for a quick snapshot when I got up to the bar last night. This bartender’s ace-up-the-sleeve tattoo, literally up a sleeve (though not the typical sleeve tattoo), makes an appropriate background for a highball glass alight with a candle. Shot with an iPhone4, processed usingNoir and Dynamic Light. Check out my iPhoneography board for more like this. Cheers.

What do you think? Ever seen a cool tattoo at an appropriate moment for a photo opportunity? Do you take photos more often with your phone or with a camera? Let us hear from you in the comments!
