Even a cellphone camera…

This will probably be one of my shorter rants. That’s probably because the quote I am going to show you really says it all. I do have a habit of finding things on the internet that spark off rants though. Today, it was some photographer who is trying to organize photo-walks.

Beauty and the beach

There’s no doubt that Andy Royston captures the beauty of the beach every morning. And at dawn, before other people arrive, it is at its best. His artwork is timeless – the waves have been crashing onto the shore here before Fort Lauderdale existed – even before the human race existed.

Our first online magazine

This summer issue is full of his fabulous fine art photography, has tips about iPhoneography and its apps plus details about a few things he feels strongly about.

The perils of beach photography

Don’t Let It Bring You Down…

I’m part of the scenery.  There he goes, nose in the iPhone…

In Ft Lauderdale, the A1A wavewall (which I rarely ever shoot, and is in the out-of-shot foreground of a lot of my images) attracts the runners and the joggers and the dawn walkers – there are a lot of us sunrise-compulsives.
