Portland by iPhone
This upcoming Monday, Apr 4, the reason for my recent trip to Portland will come to light. It may or may not have something to do with the 2016 Hoopfest poster. I did last year's, my first, and it went over rather well.
This post isn't about that, though. It's about finding wonderful things wherever I go. So much about this trip was "hurry up and wait" with a few false starts and schedule changes. That was only a concern because I really wanted to explore more. This was my first visit of substance to the downtown area and frankly, I fell in love with it immediately. Naturally, Powell's Books was a charmer but ... duh.
Though I did have my grown-up camera with me, I kept in in "ready to go" mode the whole trip so as not to have any last minute goofs happen when we finally got to shoot. That means that I was left my just my iPhone. If you've known me for more than a minute, you'll know that was just fine with me.
Yes, good gear is important but if you wit until you have all the correct tech stuff, you'll be waiting a long time. I encourage you to avail yourself of the best camera that you have at hand, your smartphone, to capture the world around you. The tech involved with those things is amazing and with the smart use of editing apps, you'll be able to tell your visual story to the world.
