In the land of iPhoneography I have found a combination of filters from which a theme has emerged that I have been exploring over the last week: Impossible Buildings

Playing with a combination of apps I saw a local iPhone App Evangelist use, I stumbled across this recipe.

I have a natural affinity for pushing apps[anything really] to their limitations. The above photo resulted when I took an HDR Photofrom an extreme perspective and tested the limits of FrontView[LINK]. FrontView is an app designed to correct any undesired perspective… aka square your askew photos. So, of course, I wondered how it would work with a picture taken from an extreme angle.

The result was a beautiful, gently surreal building that resembled a wooden skyscraper.

I took the results and stretched them with Anticrop and then reflected them with a basic free reflection app until I had a new kind of tiny planet— an Impossible Building.

I am drawn to architecture, and as a friend pointed out… these photos are as much about the shape of the architecture as they are the sky.

Here’s the progression.

Kinotopic # 2.
Kinotopic is a new iPhone app that turns short videos into photos through iPhone magic.

Art on the go for the busy technocentric artist.

My name is Shalaco and I am an iPhonography-oholic. Snap snap snap snap snap… But where do all those photos go… and how do you move past perpetually reinventing your creative process and getting lost in it all in a world that is constantly changing at faster and faster rates to actually get something done?

The best I can do is focus on those things seem to remain the same while playing with all that is new and old enough to be forgotten by the collective consciousness.

The Event (Lost) Horizon Night Market as well as a couple of my pictures were featured on NPR today.
