Some folks have suggested that I could upload blog posts via an iPhone instead of using my Nokia E71. So, why don’t I use an iPhone for moblogging? It’s simple, because you don’t ever own an iPhone, you just rent it from ATT. Yep, rent.

Today, I thought I might try doing a post from my Nokia E71 smart phone.
It would be neat to make posts from distant places with my thoughts fresh in mind. And, perhaps to include a photo taken with the phone.

Sometimes we think the light is bad; yet there may be enough light to find something interesting to capture. We often think that photographs must be sharp, have wondrous details, and be perfectly exposed. In reality, we have the choice to find just an impression. As in this shot.

I think it might be good to talk about what was going through my mind while taking a specific photograph. From time to time I will do this, to share with you my thoughts and feelings as they occurred when the shot was taken.

Many who know me would describe my personality as obsessive compulsive. I am always considering options, always looking at new stuff, and the reason is that I want to do better photography. So, I read extensively about new products, and each day I read lots of reviews about equipment for doing digital photography. Lately it has been overly obsessive.
