What I See Now

Apple ad: Every day, more photos are taken with the iPhone than with any other camera

Love this.

iPhone camera rigged as microscope to diagnose illness
Wow, this is incredible. As described in a story at The New York Times, an iPhone was rigged as a microscope to identify intestinal worms in kids. A journal article goes into detail on this.

I want the canonical copy of my iPhoto library in the cloud. One iPhoto library in the cloud, many devices with access to it. I want to edit, organise and delete photos on any device and see the same changes on all other devices.

Great post from Peter Nixey detailing what he wants in iCloud/iPhoto.

I’m really with him on what’s missing and what’s needed.

And yes, Apple: I’ll pay for this.


I continue to be amazed with the camera. It totally changes photography and video. Why? I can capture moments. I counted how many seconds it takes to get my smartphone out of my pocket, open it up, find the camera app, wait for it to load, and then take a photo. Six to 12 seconds. With Google Glass? Less than one second. Every time. And I can use it without having hands free, like if I’m carrying groceries in from the car and my kids are doing something cute.

Vintage-looking prints with Printic
Here’s a new photo-printing app, Printic, that’s all about delivering Polaroid-looking prints via the mail. Each print is 99 cents, and they’re delivered in a lovely and stylish envelope, making them a nice sort of mini-gift. I’m a big fan of these types of apps (think Postagram), in part because it means you’re able to send off your printed photos from pretty much anywhere.
