Camera Roll Wasteland
So bassically there’s no way for an iPhone photo editing app to access iPhone photos located outside of the Camera Roll. This makes all of the available photo album app useless to me.
During my editing process I normally use no less that 3 different photo editing apps. Each app creates a NEW version of the photo and saves it to my iPhones Camera Roll. This can sometimes produce 5-7...
Moving my photoblog
My tumblr photoblog is moving over to Posterous! My domain BokehImage.com is now being forwarded to my NEW Posterous photoblog of the same name. If you’re a Tumblr user and have enjoyed my photos please pay a visit to my new home. I will continue posting photos to my Tumblr photoblog (via auto posting from Posterous) until at least October 2010 but after that, that blog will no longer...
What's in a name.
At work I keep hearing people refer to others who use tech gadgets in every day life as nerds when maybe they should be refered to as geeks. The term nerds is being used and applied to others unfairly. Here’s my loose definition of all of these lables.
Dork: The kind of person who does something stupid just to get a laugh or maybe because they are just really well……stupid....
My apps are starting to drop!
After 2+ weeks of application updates everytime I sync my iPhone 3Gs I finally ended up with a warning telling me that one of my apps could not be installed because my iPhone needs the latest version of the iPhone OS…..iOS4! And what makes this even worst, it’s “1X1 Camera” one of my most favorite apps. I use it to take 90% of my iPhone photos which I always capture in 1x1...

Hacktivation Is Imminent
The long awaited iOS4 has been released. I’ve been waiting for this update for months - in hopes of better Bluetooth printing support for both the iPhone and iPod Touch. Needless to say Apple has let me down. Printing (or sending) photos via normal bluetooth protocals is just as locked as ever. Looks like I’m gonna end up either jailbreaking my iPhone 3Gs once a reliable tool has been...

Copyright info for iPhone pic's
I picked up a really cool iPhone app called PhotoMarkr which adds a copyright logo / info to your iPhone photos. Works really well - my goal is to start using it on every iPhone photo I upload to the web. But I forgot to use it today just before uploading a few photos. I’m so full of FAIL right now.

Whats In Your Bag - Revisited.
Just finished watching this Persona series sideshow by Jason Travis. The show contains diptych style portraits of people in Atlanta and the items they carry everyday in their bag, back pack messenger bags and the like. I always get a kick out of seeing just what kind of things people find important enough to want to carry every day. I also like seeing items that I own and sometimes carry myself....

Facebook - A big bag of hurt!
Ok so my facebook mobile app for iPhone won’t let me upload a photo to a friends wall or anywhere on facebook for that matter. It worked a few weeks ago with no problem but today (all day) it failed. Everyday I’m finding the facebook mobile app to be less and less useful. I have 2 facebook accounts but I have to logout then login to see whats going on with my other account. There...

I posted in the Apple Forums today.
I too would like to print photos from my iPhone 3Gs directly to the Polaroid Pogo mobile printer. Currently the only way to do this is to jailbreak your iPhone and run an app called ibluenova (formally called iBluetooth) which gets around the iphone’s crippled bluetooth functionality. I have “No Plans” to jailbreak my iPhone nor have I bought the Polaroid Pogo mobile printer....

Flag On the Play: excessive movement
I’m sporting a Brand spanking NEW 16GB Black iPhone 3Gs by no-fault of my own….it’s true, I sware!
About 4-5 weeks ago my iPhone 3Gs came out of sleep mode with a completely red screen. The iphone seem to function correctly but everything on the LCD screen was red or a shade of red. I press the power button to put the iphone back to sleep then press the home button to wake it...

Yep, sent another letter to Apple Inc.
Dear Apple, I’ve been totally enjoying my iPhone 3Gs and it’s awesome ability to capture, edit, enhance, and publish photos to the web as well as my choice of social networks. At age 47 I can tell you that I’ve used 100’s of electronic gadgets over the years and my iPhone 3Gs is simply the BEST device I have ever owned…hands down! But currently I have an issue with my...

Facebook: Stalls, hiccups, stutters, & sputters.
Here I am only a few weeks in and I already wanna ditch Facebook. The main reason is the lack of solid content aggregation. I’m attempting to create a consistent flow of information from all of my online social networks mainly photos from flickr and TheBestCamera.com and have them post on my Facebook wall. Some of it gets picked up (some of the time) but other info never gets pulled in at...

Still janky after all these years!
I gave up after several attemps to embed my YouTube video on this blog and have it play back in my iPhone’s Safari browser. I went through this once befor about a year ago but it looks like I still didn’t learn a thing. I guess I got cocky being that I was able to embed a few YouTube videos, some of which were my own, but today proved to be most troubling. The Brightkite video posted...

Dreaming of High-Speed
I can’t wait for the day when high-speed recording comes standard on any average hand held camcorder. I might be wrong but I bet it’s just a matter of swapping out the shutter, and tweaking the firmware….right? Maybe a hi-capacity battery. Oh wait…better lens too. Well, maybe a completely different image stabilization feature. And maybe go from a plastic frame housing to metal…..
…..ok...

Step right up! Strep throat for everyone!
My daughter is on day 3 of being infected with strep throat. She picked it up from one of her cast members while performing in a play last week. She got all the med’s, soups, pills, and other concoctions to help her get through.
Strep throat can be passed from person to person. When a person who has strep throat breathes, coughs, or sneezes, tiny droplets with the strep bacteria go into the...

Finally on facebook.
Talking with my coworker “Leilani” about some of the pitfalls of using Facebook. I have 2 Facebook accounts - one geared more towards photography the other for everything else. I’m growing the friends/contacts list of both organically. That is to say that if I don’t actually know you, we need to at least share something in common….like photography.

Clone the Mac Address!...."You said what now?"
It took 4 attempts over 3 days - but I finally got my co-workers NEW Comcast Hi-Speed Internet working. It really sucks that the Comcast installer only installed the modem and bailed without even giving the slightest instruction on how to set it up the everything else. The average home user would NEVER know to clone the Mac Address of a laptop and transfer that info to a Linksys WRT54G Wifi...

The waiting is killing me!
Can’t wait to get my hands on the NEW Photoshop Lightroom 3. I’m still running Lightroom v1.4.1 and feeling very behind in my photo editing skills. There’s still Lightroom 3 beta that I could download and use but I’m saving myself for the real deal coming this summer….or sooner I hope.

MotionX GPS
Used MotionX, which is a voice based turn by turn GPS navigation iPhone app yesterday. Once I figured out the menu and tools the app was a joy to use and listen too as it guided me along my way towards my final destination. The app followed my position down to a few meters and sometimes it felt like it even knew what lane I was in….wow! I really loved how it tells me when I’ve reached...

Added this to my Apple Store Feedback survey.
It would be great is you guys could make customers more aware of the NEW check-out process. That snazzy app you guys are running on the iPod Touch to help customers pay for their purchase is awesome but customers still believe they have to stand in line to finalize their purchase. I knew about the iPod touch check-out thingy so I was in & out in less than a minute, but I saw others with...

Earthquake
I got a chance to see my NEW Earthquake iPhone app working in real-time. Had a short 4.1mag earthquake around 10:30am today. I powered up the Earthquake app and after a refresh or two the info started rolling in. In addition to the size of the quake I can see the exact GPS location on a map as well as a direct link to the USGS for more info. After scrolling through the list of recent quakes (past...

I have 182 downloaded apps. With iTunes v9.0.2.25 the list of apps needing updates refuse to clear after downloading the updates. Now this doesn’t happen all the time, but it’s at least once after every 3rd or 4th round of app updates and it’s starting to bug me. This also happened on my iPhone 3Gs recently too. I had to uninstall then reinstall 3 apps on my 3Gs just to get the...

Work-Flow-FAIL!
Here’s another letter I sent to the Best Camera team about potential features in a future release of the Best Camera app.
Hello again, Just recently I’ve taken a liking to the square crop filter in my Best Camera app. But because I shoot most of my photos in landscape, I loose the side portions of my subject when applying the crop plus it seems to zoom in a little too….yikes!...
