A Tall Drink of Noodles.

Check out my photo book that was just published.

The world’s first B&W iPhone photo book is here. From start to finish, conceptual artist Andrew David Baron, takes us on a journey with his iPhone and its camera. The iPhone has become the default camera of convenience rather than of choice because of its accessibility. Mr. Baron’s photos show us that the nothingness of life’s everyday journeys have beauty and purpose. The subjectivity of beauty and purpose has ultimately been left up to the viewer to decide.

According to Mr. Baron, “My Journeys, are nothing more than a visual collection of narrative wavelengths of vibrating light and sub-atomic particles that are encapsulated and bonded within my aesthetic construction of time, form, space, spirit and love.”

Just finished the sequel to my short film / video posted a couple of weeks ago: One Infinite Loophole. This is called One Infinite Loophole II.

Check it out!

Nothing like a good, independent short film to make your day.

Also there is nothing else out there like Captain Hazel Murphy that would make you want to jump off a 50 story building because he’s that cute.

(well…maybe not a 50 story building. Possibly a 35 story building instead. That seems more realistic.) heh.

Most Recent Version: 2.3

A.T.D.o.N. Rating: 3.5 out of 5

The Breakdown:

Night Vision is a specialized photography app that gives the iPhone the ability to take photos with very little light. The small amount of light that does enter the digital lens becomes amplified, thus creating an image based upon the parameters of various spectrums. There are 4 different modes you can use: Night Vision Mode, Heat Mode, Predator Mode , and Grey Scale Mode.

Night Vision Mode: Off

Night Vision Mode: On

Heat Mode: Off

Heat Mode: On

Predator Mode: Off

Predator Mode: On

Gray Scale Mode: Off

Gray Scale Mode: On

Although in theory this sounds awesome, the result is just about satisfactory. Don’t get me wrong, this app has huge potential, but there are somethings that bug the crap out of me. Here is a short list:

1. The app does NOT work in real-time, meaning that you will NOT be able to view the image on the screen until you click the shutter and then click the button again to start the processing of the image. (The same goes for all 4 modes.)

2. You can’t control the level of “processing” that the app does. There should be an option somewhere to allow you to choose the amount of light saturation that you want in the photo.

3. Only 4 modes? Why are we not allowed to choose the colors we want in the photos. There should be a CUSTOM mode for this app. You can choose which colors can be the light source. The amount of colors. Night Vision is always green. Why can’t we choose a purple Night Vision color or blue. (I know that green is best for results, but still…the option to do so is just as important.)

4. There isn’t an online community where people can post these shots and share or comment on. This app doesn’t really connect with it’s audience at all. It’s kind of like…ok…I’m an app that does this…so pay me now…and here you go…goodbye.

The Pros: Cool and unique photos using little light. Only $0.99.

The Cons: Photos are processed and not in real time. No control of quality or quantity of image processing. No customization mode for user experimentation. No sense of community or desire to want to improve app. No actual website for the developer either. Kind of skeevy to have JUST a MySpace page for an Apple iPhone app. BIZARRO!

The Close: There are a few good things and many bad things about this app. Overall I would suggest holding off on buying this app until some sort of customization is implemented. The community aspect is not vital to the actual photos themselves, however it will help the “branding” and life of the app. Now that the iPhone 3G S with video is out, the developer should program this app to process video the same way photos SHOULD be processed, only in real-time. (I gaurantee you Mr. Satchkov that if you were able to do this with all 4 modes your app would be on the TOP SELLERS list forever. Seriously.)

Disclaimer: I am neither an employee of Apple, nor do I have any business relationships with any companies or individuals that will be reviewed. I do this because I have opinions and thoughts that I feel could add to the overall dialogue of iPhone knowledge. I have not been paid or given gifts as incentives to write about any companies in any certain type of light. I have not been contacted or contracted by any companies to write any “SEO” or “SEM” bullshit for link building. Ok enough legal mumbo jumbo…

Until now…

I am always amazed by real ingenuity and the spirit of creativity? I thought that I had seen it all.

You know something, I consider myself an aficionado on all things iPhone and Apple, but this has completely blown my mind away. I always try to find the odd things out there that no one is really paying attention to. This one takes the ticket as one of the strangest and innovative concept yet for the iPhone. Is the suspense too much to handle already? lol

The bizarre device for the phone is not a downloadable game or app from iTunes App Store, or a cool new protective case in chartreuse or puce (which reminds me…what color is puce? Does it even exist? lol). No, it is not another portable charger for the iPhone. Nor is it some stupid stand for your iPhone for the table. (Yeah, like anyone REALLY ever wants to watch a WHOLE movie on an iPhone and it has to be on a table.)

Give up?

Well, feast your iPhonic lusty eyes on these. Your life will never be the same. heh.

Stumbled upon the website, [ http://www.usbfever.com ] late yesterday afternoon and was floored by this and similar lens that you can actually magnetically stick on front of the camera lens of your iPhone. I cannot call this a review for the sheer virtue that I physically have not been able to use this lens. If you were wondering, this isn’t the ONLY lens that USBFEVER sells. There are a bunch of them.

Feeling compelled, I just had to post and share these images and lens with all of you.

I am sure most of you will probably say that there is an APP already that can digitally recreate any of these lens effects in the iPhone itself. True, but imagine the real “huh?” factor you could have at a party? It’ll drive people nuts.

I’ll be putting in an order for 1 of these bad boys to test it out and see what the experience is like. My review will follow shortly after.
