I read another article about a transplanted French photographer who now lives in Boston.

She has all the official credentials, uses a 5dmk2 with all the proper glass that gearheads drool over, but she also has a photo journal she shares with her family and friends back in france. She exclusively uses her iPhone and hipstamatic.

The images are beautiful 6×6 frames of her interpretation of Boston. Plainly put – It’s wonderful.

She not only has a great eye, She has an intended style which she achieves consistently using her phone.

I think it absolutely qualifies as photojournalism and should put another nail in the grave of the chirping traditionalists who can’t get over the simplicity of the tool.

If you go to the URL I provided the photo blog is one of the top row links and it’s called “my Boston diary”

Check it out and let me know what you think.

As he stated, we don’t see in black and white or with vignettes yet for some reason if an app such as Hipstamatic applies similar effects it become less valid.

I applaud Mr. Witners and feel that any camera that can get the job done is the correct camera to use. App or no app.

His shots are great. The apps and the phone do less to alter the reality of the shots Than where he was standing. As for the argument that he edited them too much – what he did isn’t much different than picking film or desaturating something.
