The Best Camera is the One You Have With You

David — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 17:52:05 +0000

My interest in photography has recently been rekindled thanks to Chase Jarvis and the nifty iPhone Best Camera app. The idea behind the app and the user upload project at thebestcamera.com is to open up impressive, quality photography to the masses. Makes sense given that camera carrying mobile phones are almost ubiquitous in modern society.

See the video for more details and below some of my bestc.am shots – all taken, edited and uploaded to various social networks on the go in a matter of seconds.

Dabbling in Video

Christmas toys have given rise to the opportunity to make a few videos to accompany some of my music. Early days of testing the Kodak Zi8. I hope to have some more story driven videos and better recordings come January.

Find the Gap on Wix.com

I’ve been playing with Flash on the excellent free site builder at www.wix.com. Flash is renowned for being bloated, cumbersome and incompatible and I must admit it generally is, but visually and playfully it really is the way the web should be: just plain slick.

Here is a Flash website made in wix, to a house a short illustrated narrative I recently drew.

More drawings and more thanks

Firstly a big thanks to everyone who came along to my exhibition in Godt Brød and who gave me feedback.

As those pictures and drawings come down, I’ve put up 12 new line drawings up on flickr. The drawings date from the end of summer to yesterday evening and the themes are somewhat disparate rannging from Kissing to Kerouac to Cancer Research to Leonard Cohen to Ikea and The Dance. You can also browse my pics using this very nice flash gallery by airtightinteractive.
