iPhone App Review: iFotoGuide – Arches & Yosemite

My photography has transformed over the past couple of  years thanks in part to the advent of photography apps on the iPhone.  Reference information, in particular, now available on iPhone apps has made a special impact.

Recommended Reading: U.S. Highway 89 by Ann Torrence

Few places in my travels have made as lasting an impression on me as those I’ve visited along Highway 89. There is not a week that goes by that my mind doesn’t wander to places I’ve visited on Highway 89. The landscapes, people and small towns that make up this portion of the United States [...]

Demonstrating or highlighting components and qualities of the bag just seemed to flow better on video than in writing. Quite a few people contacted me about the bag after posting part 1 [...]

The Value of Free: Where Is It?
