I experienced probably the most rewarding outcome of the iPhoneography project since I started it in February. My cousin, Nathan Lee, was sitting at the computer flipping through the album on Facebook with all three of my children clustered around his chair peering at the screen in wonder. They would exclaim in delighted excitement as they saw images from days and events they remembered. Rixie was especially impressed with the shots of her Barbies. She even brought up at dinner with my mom last night how, “Ken was with that girl and Mommy took a picture and they were in Mommy’s bed!” Followed by giggles. Eeek! Fortunately, she didn’t fully understand the concept!
I’ve truly gotten overwhelmingly positive feedback so far. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how many people approach me in person to compliment the project. I’m even more surprised by the number of people who had no clue that I was taking these shots with my iPhone! I still am a little hazy on the underlying motivation that prompted my to embark on this iPhoneography stuff, but, thus far, I deem it a splendid success and am looking forward to forging on through the rest of the year. And I’m most ecstatic that I have three little cheerleaders now.
I’d like to point out, while this is a complete blast, it is just a side-project. My full-time gig is still shooting headshots and promos for local actors, comedians, musicians, artists, entertainers, and whomever! I’ve had some wicked exciting shoots recently and some more coming up! (Have I mentioned I love what I do?)
