Even though I love it for many great reasons such as: portability, weight, the challenge, the quality, the instant processing, the stealthiness, sharing on Instagram... I was beginning to feel like less of a professional because I mostly wanted to shoot with my phone. Even though I love it, it sort of seemed lame!
But lo and behold (and in perfect timing I might add) Creative Live had an iPhoneography workshop at the beginning of the year with commercial photographer and fellow iPhoneography lover, Jack Hollingsworth. He allayed my concerns by stating the exact same feelings I was having and he validated that the iPhone will likely go down as one of the most significant advancements in camera history. Hallelujah to that! I am not alone or crazy for thinking that this is the greatest. thing. ever.
Isn't it funny how sometimes you just need someone else to say, "It's alright. I feel the same way as you..." and instantly that doubt melts away and everything is okay. Mobile shooting has taught me so much about myself and the things I'm drawn to as a photographer. I'm proud of the images I've taken with my phone and in an effort to embrace this revolutionary time in photography, I want to start sharing weekly mobile photo favorites here. I hope you don't mind. (PS. For all you IGers, I will try to put up some that you haven't seen as well!)

I love your iphoneography. I'm glad you feel ok with it now. I would really miss it if you went away in that respect.
I was thinking about your morning routine this morning and I was wondering do you dry brush.I do on and off. It seems like something that would be in your routine.
P.S. I know that was random;)
you are an awesome photographer no matter what!
I vote yes to weekly photographs from you (or daily photographs), always. Your eye will never stop being stunning, no matter what lens/camera/device you happen to be using.
so so true. i've had the exact same thoughts & concerns, and even though i've made it a point to bring my camera along more often (instead of relying solely on my phone), i continue to shoot some of my favorite images/views... *moments from my phone.
totally have felt the same way, though photography's not my profession. I occasionally eye my "real" camera, pick it up, groan at the weight, and really only use it for product photography now. The iPhone really does rock. And it's alright :)
I finally found my way over to your beautiful blog via Desi & Blake! (I've already been following your awesome photos on Instagram and find them super inspiring). I look forward to seeing more of what you see.
My d300 has been gathering a lot of ust since i brought home my iphone 4.
People have been telling me for years, you take such great pictures, you are lucky to have a great camera. I love the look the get when I tell them, I took it with my iPhone!
It's not the camera, it's you!!
