One day I felt I needed a new, small, unobtrusive camera that would occasionally allow me to make a phone call.
So, I got myself an Apple Iphone.
I believe that photography is not about technically complex set-ups or mega-pixels; it is mostly about vision and having a photographic device ready to shoot whenever you see something that catches your imagination.
The Iphone is exactly that, in a lightweight, stealth, unintimidating, almost reassuring cell-phone form.
The Iphone lets me be near my subjects and take their picture, sometimes openly, sometimes not, without resorting to a telephoto lens. At the same time it forces me to concentrate just on framing and on how to overcome with ingenuity its optical limitations, something I find refreshing, being accustomed to work with highly sophisticated (and heavy)equipment most of the time.
