My Visual Journal

The iPhoneography of Joseph Cortese

Filed underThings

I'm an iPhoneographist [noun. someone who takes pictures with an iPhone :-]. But I'm also journaling, using the images I capture to move me towards reflections that edify myself and others. Be inspired to do the same. These moments come unannounced so you have to be ready at all times. That's why the iPhone is the camera of choice. It's always in my pocket.

I'm also learning the importance of composition, exposure, light, and other photographic disciplines. The iPhone only comes with one button. That limitation is a good thing. It forces to you to stick to photography 101 and not be distracted by unlimited parameters.

All of the images featured on this Web site were created using Apple's iPhone 3Gs. Most of the images enter post processing to enhance various aspects or overcome certain camera limitations, then sent directly from the iPhone via e-mail to the Web site.

Enjoy.

Ornamental Grass

Love this stuff. Been finding myself drawn to it and the colors, only to be found when one draws near to it. Looking to place this around my home.

Resurrection

What I love about the resurrection, besides the fact that I am raised with Christ, is the idea that the "agony of death" is truly over. The alive-ness of Jesus is too powerful for death. It could not hold Him down, neither can it hold me down. I've been made alive with the alive-ness of Christ. Imagine? Its being more alive than I am right now. My brain hurts. But my heart is overflowing.
