iPhone Artistry

(Photo by Sean Cusick)

This photo was taken with an iPhone. I don't have one, so I don't know much about them, but it seems to have become the hot new camera. You can take seminars like these with people like this about how to make good photos with them now. My friend Sean has a degree in film, but he chose to become famous in the music world and forgot all about cameras and visual storytelling for many years. Notorious might be a better word. He insists I use his name and give him credit for the photograph, but it worries me. Nothing worries him. I try to stay anonymous. He is worse than Paris Hilton.

He used to be paid to travel the world playing in clubs from New York to Moscow to Shanghai to Buenos Aires. And he never took a photo. Now that he is married and settled down to a less conspicuous life, he has become interested in cameras once again. He is determined to put up his own site now, and I am certain it will be better than this one which pisses me off, but he was a clever boy genius and certainly some of that remains. I may link him when he gets the site up if he promises never to write about me. He can be sweet, but he can turn, too, like a bad date. No, the whole thing scares me horribly.

Certainly, he has lived a more colorful life than you or I. Don't protest. I promise. He has stories to tell and can use the language in clever ways.

But there is something else required and therein lies the tale. We shall see.
