I woke up at 7am this morning with the intention of going for a jog with my lad. His alarm went off but he went back to sleep. So I ran alone and headed over to Bedruthen Steps on the Coastal path. This shot was taken with the iphone of the view of the cliffs on the way over. It was the first and last time I wanted to jog early in the morning!
My first real computer was an Apple Mac Classic. It had a 40Mb hard disk and 1Mb RAM. You had to go to weird shops in out of town industrial estates where you had to make appointments to visit. Software was unheard. That was 1991. Over the years I stuck with the brand and went through various models…occasionally it would seem like they were taking some market share, especially in blips where PC World stocked one model and a few bits of software. Something happened a few years ago with the introduction of cool iPods and glossy Macbooks and then came the iPhone that turned things around. Now you can’t move for Apple products…and I have a brace of items.
So today, as homage, I’ve photographed part of my older Apple G4 Powerbook with the iPhone 4 and used a new hipstamatic lens I just downloaded.
A birch tree has been surrounded by saplings in a woodland project near our offices at the Turbine. I spotted it while cycling past and grabbed it with the iphone. There’s the remains of a tree protector lying on the floor to the side dwarfed by the ancient birch. The colours are as created by the hipstamatic.
It forms part of my photo365 project.
I finally got round to getting an iphone. I’ve been wanting one for a long while…and apart from the usual stuff a phone’s good for, my first step was to download the Bloom app. I heard about it ages ago and watched a few youtube videos. I love the tranquil sounds. The app created by ambient master Brian Eno is a sound app. You touch areas of the screen and it plays a sound. Touch other areas and the note changes. Each note is recorded and plays back in an infinite loop. You can build up a beautiful soundscapes…ideal for relaxation.
And the iphone? Well, like with most modern phones, I can access my work email wherever I am…just must remember to turn it off when I’m in Bloom mode!
So today’s photo365 is my finger activating a note.
