Shutter Sisters

riding the wave

If you can believe it, I’m still thinking about yesterday’s post. I feel like I’m not quite done with that thought. Maybe it’s that I can’t believe how taken I am with my iphone. If I were looking for the most simple answer, I would say yes, that must be what it is. But, I can’t help but thing there is something really revolutionary about the way we are now communicating; Less words (hello twitter) and more images (a la instragram).

Is it that we are all so busy we can’t find the time to sit down and write? I can vouch only for myself when I say, yes, that is the case sometimes. But I have my suspicions that we are finding ourselves getting better and better and using images to express ourselves.

The more we shoot with our photo tool of choice, the better we get at creating the images that we are excited about. The more excited we are means we are more confident about our images, and the more eager we are to share them. It’s the ripple effect of camera ease and accessibility. Combine that with equally easy methods of sharing and Viola! You couldn’t stop that wave of creativity and sharing if you tried! And who wants to?

As we continue to stay connected through these quick and creative exchanges of “instant imaging” please continue to use our secret sister code (#ssconnect) so we can readily find each other out there in the pool of inspiration. It’s much more fun swimming with friends!

Share a a splashy shot today (something you captured with your camera of choice) as we wade together in the deep blue sea of photography.

  13. I agree! The connectivity of evolving communication has changed my photography, what inspires me, and how I share it. I can shoot for days with my DSLR, but I always struggle to find the time and energy to transfer the images to my computer and share them on the internet. With my iphone, (thanks for mobile may inspiration!) I have started to go crazy taking pictures, and actually sharing them via the internet the very same day I take them!

  14. Welcome to the world of iphoneography. I have been a professional photographer for 25 years and I am "shooting" almost entirely with my iPhone now. It brought back so much fun and sponteneity.

    This is what happens when you try to photograph your dog too many times with your iPhone…so beware, they get cranky!

  23. i made this picture first thing in the morning way before reading this post now at noon. and i'm happily surprised. i don't believe in "coincidence" anymore. nope. now i see it as being in sync. synced up. tapped into the flow. not exactly sure how one gets there, but i think it's something about getting myself (mind/ego) out of the way. nice.
