TECH SPECS: iPhone, Camera Bag App

THOUGHTS: I recently have been obsessed with my new app for the iPhone, called camera bag. My girlfriend has a window that portrays a slice of Americana quite well. While some would be objected to having a car in their lawn, I find beauty in the most out of place nouns. After recently returning from Geekfest 2009 in Florida, I was inspired by the great Sam Abell, a 30 year National Geographic veteran, who recently spoke on his new book The Life of a Photograph. In it, he talked about microframing and how composing within the composition is vital to the layering and elements that add and delete in and out of the frame, if you wait. This photo also represents how expensive gear is not the sign of great photographs. However, the mind, patients, experience and vision of the photographer is. I’m not a photographer in the same sentence as Mr. Abell but just a simple man obsessed with capturing what some pass up as commonplace.

Humbly,

Corey
