∞ Annie Liebovitz recommends iPhone camera

“I’m still learning how to use mine,” Liebovitz said, pulling her iPhone 4 out to take a picture of her host. “It’s great. It’s a pencil, it’s a pen, it’s a notebook. I can’t tell you how many times I see people show me their children. It’s the wallet with the family pictures in it. It is so accessible and easy.”

The iPhone camera is all I’ve used for years. There’s no need for a point and shoot camera anymore.

    Annie has always been an innovator in photography for decades. Not always my cup of tea, but there’s no question her years at Rolling Stone, Time-Life and elsewhere has established her as at the top of her game. 

    It’s cool to see the evolution of photography taking shape around the tools available. The Leica established 35mm film as a real option when many pros considered the film size a toy.

      Now Canon’s got a 4K cine camera coming! I remember back in the dawn of digital imaging that a 4K image was an “ultimate” resolution which took *forever* to render on multi-million-dollar systems.

    An anecdote: I had worked as an e-mail consultant for an entity with over 5000 mail accounts. Not much as compared to multi-internationals which have accounts that rise to hundred of thousands and more. Their biggest source of headaches was managing storage.

    It turns out that most electronic communication is internal — usually with-in ones own department or division — and consisted of documents being sent back and forth. Thats the problem; Outlook/Exchange is being used as a substitute for file sharing, storage, and as document archival and retrieval systems. Departments were even setting up common public folder areas which mirrored their networked shares. 

    User A would ask her officemate if she could have document XYZ. User B says “No problem. I’ll send it in a ‘mail.” User A then opens XYZ directly from the e-mail, reads and review with perhaps a change or two. Saves it (hopefully remembering to change its path from “USERTemp”. Then uses Word’s “send with e-mail”  macro to send it back to User B or to their higher-ups. Repeat, rinse and dry. Multiple copies and revisions of the same document spread all over a company’s infrastructure. A nightmare.
