iPhone Photo Apps

With the release of the iTunes App Store last year, naturally there have been lots of applications submitted and available for purchase that deal with Photos. It only make sense, after all, but there are two that I'm aware of that do something that makes them stand out from the crowd. (NOTE: I have not used either as I do not have an iPhone and refuse to pay to upgrade my iPod Touch to the 2.0 firmware).

iFOTOMO is a viewer for Flickr photos that presents them in a mosaic. However, the user can pan and zoom, and upon zooming make the zoomed image the new mosaic target. It is a very interesting concept, and adds something new to the many Flickr viewers out there, at least that I've seen.

The other app that I've seen that I would definitely purchase, is Nick Campbell's ShakeItPhoto. What is interesting about this, is that it emulates an "old school" Polaroid camera in that upon snapping a photo, with the iPhone's camera, the processing is designed to take a little while to finish, but, it speeds up when you shake your phone—just like a Polaroid. You can see it in action here, and see a ton of examples on Nick's ShakeItPhoto photo blog.

Justin Ouellette (best known for Muxtape) has a new simple site: I Hardly Know Her takes your photostream from Flickr and turns it into a simple gallery. Just add your Flickr screenname to the end: http://www.ihardlyknowher.com/thinkiandy, for example.

NYC Marathon from a Runner's Point of View

Local Philadelphia photographer Scott Spitzer loves to take pictures, and only "likes" running, but combined the two yesterday when he ran the NYC Marathon yesterday. I asked him why he brought his camera along (just a point and shoot btw), and his response was:

I wanted to share the experience of the run with those that did not run it. I wanted the viewer to be transposed into my shoes, see what I saw and feel the energy and devotion of the fans watching.

That's what photography is all about, and for the record, I "ran" the race in 5hrs 46mins, in my transposed reality. Check out Scott's Photos.

Photojojo Time Capsule

Now, here's actually an interesting idea, Time Capsule, which I sort of wish I thought of first. But, I can't think of everything first... Anyway, the idea is pretty simple. Once in a while send out photos from your Flickr stream that are older but were ranked well in "interestingness." That is, those photos that were commented on and viewed more often. Time Capsule will then send them to you in an email. It won't let your best photos be forgotten.

Tag Galaxy

As far as Flickr viewers go, there's no other that comes close in coolness than Tag Galaxy. The rough idea is that each tag is a planet (or satellite) and selecting multiple tags will eventually lead you to the pictures you wanna see. It's neat, and extremely well done.
