iPhoneography / The Street Volume

Anton Kawasaki
I recently picked up an iPhone 4 for a cross-country trip that just wrapped up. Along the way I took a few photos, which was fun since this is my first pseudo-digital camera and the immediacy of being able to see the image was kick-ass. I don’t think I’ll ever use an iPhone for any of my street or documentary work though, and I definitely won’t be posting any of my trip photos anywhere. They’re not good enough or interesting enough to share with the masses.
On the other hand, I have heard about all of the great stuff people have been doing with apps (for the record, I hate this word) and their iPhones. So since I had some downtime this weekend, I decided to search the web in hopes of finding a street photographer who’s put down the SLR for an iPhone.
And luckily, I came across Anton Kawasaki. Enjoy.
Paul Trevor’s Rough & Tumble Liverpool

Photo by Paul Trevor
Photographer Paul Trevor only recently re-discovered his photos of 1970s-era Liverpool that were lying in a drawer for 35 years. The project was meant to document the deprivation in the rough inner city, but even so, the photos are very sweet, joyous and evocative, recalling an era of more innocence if you want to call it that, at least a very time than one filled with computers and predators and terrorists — all of which restrict children of today in different ways.
To hear more, Trevor talks about winning over the children of the city in a video at The Guardian.
“Like You’ve Never Been Away,” a show of his work is on at the Walker Art Gallery in London through September 25. He’s also trying to find the original subjects from the photos so he can photograph them again; look at his tear sheets here.

War … On Cameras (What Is It Good For?)

Absolutely nothing.
Reason.tv takes on photography and the police in this great video, “The Government’s War on Cameras.” (I particularly like all the clips of misinformed and/or rights-trampling authorities.) We finally get to see Antonio Musumeci, he of NYCLU lawsuit against the government fame, and the main message is hammered home — photography is your right, but not even the authorities know that sometimes.
