It’s official 6 days ago I entered the world of the iPhone. Since that time, being the photography obsessed individual that I am, I’ve been interested in learning more about the capabilities of the iPhone’s camera. The camera on the iPhone continues to be the step child of the iPhone hype hardly getting any technical mention on Apple’s iPhone Technical Specifications page and it was hardly men
Like most everyone the past week I’ve been overwhelmed with iPhone hype and I swore I wouldn’t let it get to me. Well the inner Apple nut in me took over. I became a possessed man in the 11th hour and ended up getting one. Having used my iPhone now for a decent amount of time I wanted to share some of the apparent short comings and many of its amazing features as it relates to real use in the field. iPhon
This morning a couple new features were made available to image sharing sites Flickr and Zooomr. While trying to get my morning fix of Flickr I mysteriously could not load the site. Frustrated I ended up checking in on Zooomr to find that “Discover” had been enhanced to find the latest and greatest by hour, the last day, the last week, the last month and the last year.

Last night just before bed at 2:30AM I saw an announcement from Thomas Hawk on Twitter that Zooomr had launched. When I checked though it was still experiencing problems.

The initial Zooomr launch was attempted March 13th with occasional
It would seem Zooomr Mark III is being released today. Strangely I’m not seeing how to login just yet. At the moment the index page consists of two videos, one a message from Kristopher and the other a demo of the sites new features. Once released I’m looking forward to diving in and exploring what is being offered. With Yahoo’s Flickr and SmugSmug having stock sales functionality on the horizon it
