“WHY SHOULD I CARE?”
by @garethpon
“For years I have worked with bulky digital cameras always mindful of the technical maneuvers from setting the shutter speed and
aperture to editing and toning on a computer screen. In the last few years I have discovered that my iPhone has allowed me to capture scenes without feeling that I am once again on the job. To point and
shoot has been a liberating experience. It has allowed me to rediscover the excitement of seeing imperfections and happy accidents rendered through the lens of my handheld device.”
