iPhoneography

This week, stop by Inspired Design Daily, where I'm writing about the growth of iPhoneography and digital phone art... It's an art form that's been around for a while, but with technological advancements, a host of new photo editing applications, and heightened communications due to social media and the internet, camera phone art has garnered enough attention to create international competitions and gallery shows across the globe.


So, check out my post to see some of the examples and accessories available to enhance your smartphone photos, and start shooting your own works of art! (and if you're an Instagram user, connect with us @myd)
Best, Lauren

Happy (belated) Birthday to Oscar Niemeyer...

Decades of work in both his home country of Brazil and internationally makes Oscar Niemeyer one of the most well-known architects today. And at age 104, as of yesterday- his birthday, he's still designing...

So, this is a birthday card to Mr Niemeyer:


Much appreciation for the inspiration... (sketching in Brasilia)

Ice Cube, Los Angeles + Eames

'It's not about the pieces; it's how the pieces work together. Taking something that already exists and make it into something special.'

For some Saturday fun, watch this great video of Ice Cube discussing LA architecture and the legacy of Charles and Ray Eames.


For more on the exhibit and other gallery events, visit the official website for Pacific Standard Time.
Have a great weekend!
