iPhone pictures

 
 
The best camera is the one that’s with you. I always have my iPhone with me because it’s not practical to have a DSLR with you constantly. I enjoy the limitations of the iPhone camera in perpetuating a ’snapshot ethic’ much in the same way Polaroids did in the past.
This is an ever-changing (and updated...

What plugin did you for these photographs. And what setup did you use. I have been trying to get some of lightbox plugins to work on my blog. But I am running to problems where the thumbnails show, the photos will not pop-up. Thank you for your time.

My wife and I are having a disagreement over the first picture, though - it is very intriguing. Is the floor of the kitchen/island area on the same level as the floor under the two chairs in the foreground? Or is it raised? And that bathroom is just stunning. Andy

December 3, 2008 - 9:40 am Tristan - @Andy-The kitchen is on a higher level :)

November 14, 2008 - 4:57 pm Tristan - @robin - Definitely. And the fact that I do have some games on my iPhone doesn't help things either ;)
