As i mentioned before, on my recent US trip it was a joy to just be on holiday and take happy snaps again. That meant leaving the SLR behind most of the time and just using the iPhone.

As The Awl pointed out the other day, it’s getting a little old hat adding film effects to digital photos. But I like em better this way.

It’s been a bit quiet round these parts because i’m on holiday at the moment in the US. Cybele and i are in New Orleans now, leaving on a drive along the Gulf Coast today towards Miami, then onto New York.

I’ve been enjoying not worrying about photography and just being a tourist again, taking happy snaps on the iPhone. For it’s old school polaroid feel i’ve fallen for the Shakeit Photo app.

I’ll continue to post photos from the trip to my tumblr blog.

So i got an iPhone. It lives up to my very high expectations. And with Australian telco’s finally offering sensible data plans it’s relatively affordable.

As well as installing lots of apps, syncing calendars and contacts, surfing the web and listening to podcasts – i’ve been enjoying taking crappy iPhonecam photos and posting them to my twitter. It’s very easy with twitterific which integrates seamlessly with twitpic.

It makes a nice change from the pressure of taking photos with a proper camera.
