Juice Bar - Zürich - 8am

Sean - thanks for the info, but hopefully common sense will prevail. Otherwise SF2 will have to pixelate everyone's faces when they broadcast FC Zurich matches.

Now back to the pictures and this IPhone fetish... I really like the "honesty" of these photographs, but I dont know how else to put it but I kind of miss the ones where you werent drinking coffee, having breakfast or sitting in a cafe , and you had a real camera on you. Not that these are bad mind you but you know what I mean? If not just say and I will elaborate... it is just that the other ones made us (and I think I speak for more than myself here), feel a little more special, that we were not a sideline thing.... :) I will still come back tho' but just thought it should be said...

I have to thank Sean for putting my anxieties into words I couldn't find. The refined nature of the "real" photos did make me and obviously many others feel special, because they passed over to us a sort of spiritual depth which these iPhone offerings seriously lack. Suddenly the achievements of Mr. Leitz of Wetzlar and the technological strivings of Mssrs Zeiss and Schott become clear. The iPhone is for talking, not imaging.

Richard, fais comme moi, promène toi partout avec le G10 de chez Canon ! Tous les photographes disent que c'est un bon appareil.
Il m'a changé la vie depuis que je n'ai plus la prétention d'essayer d'être une vraie photographe qui connais tout à la technique, et il réalise de très belles macros < excellente profondeur de champ.

Ceci dit j'aime bien le principe de photographier ce qui t'a sauté aux yeux de prime abord, c'est ainsi que les plus belles photos se réalisent, lorsqu'on prend par exemple un paysage qui nous stupéfie à l'instant et à l'endroit où on est stupéfié. Il y a toujours une raison à ce saisissement : lumière ou volumes. Tu as été saisi par ces croissants et le coté convivial de la scène !
Pour ma part je regrette toujours de ne pas avoir photographié les suites d'hôtel (cela m'arrive et oui ! Pas assez souvent ,hélas !), avec bureau, salon, salle de bain etc, avant d'y avoir mis mon bazard.

Richard, your eluding to the fact that it is not the camera it is the photographer is noted and accepted, it's just that I cant help but feel that someone somewhere else is getting the stuff that you spend alot of time on... you know, setting up the tripod, measuring the lighting.. .all that sort of painstaking thing. I admit that if you had not labelled them IPhone I wouldnt know the difference, because since all your work I like, and I would have attributed it to some sort of crisis you are going through, but, it is just that as an avid viewer of your blog I would also like to feel a little special sometime... spend some time on us...

Interesting discussion, but I come in a bit late ... and you may guess what I would have added as comment! :-)
