Greekfiti: Graffiti in Athens
Athens is a city literally covered in Graffiti, but I found a lot of it to be quite artistic, if not some commentary on society. Here are a few snaps I took…

Hipster Graffiti & The Bitchin’ Camaro
Oh the irony; how it hurts. I saw this in an alleyway off Main Street in Vancouver and had to take a picture.
Vancouver Stanley Cup Riot Photos
Much has been said about the Vancouver Stanley Cup riots, but I felt the need to share some iPhone pictures that I took on the way out of downtown. Frankly, I’m embarrassed to even have stayed long enough to see this.
The volunteer cleanup effort the next morning did, however, give me hope for our city. Despite the senseless carnage the good people of Vancouver helped bring this place to life. Continue reading “Vancouver Stanley Cup Riot Photos” »

What causes you to lose both of your boots and a Big Mac container all in one go?
iPhone 4 vs 3GS Camera Comparison
The major feature on the iPhone 4 that made the upgrade worthwhile for me is the camera. Mobility is a key feature and I am trying to simplify the number of things that I need to carry around with me from day-to-day. If my camera, phone, and wallet can be one in the same than I’m a happy traveller.

The iPhone 3GS camera was more than adequate, but it had become slow and sluggish with more recent OS updates. Notably Apple iPhone OS 4.0 and up seemed to bring the app speed on the iPhone to a crawl, and really affected the performance of the camera.
The new camera on the iPhone 4 kicks that of the 3GS in the shins quite easily. Not only is the start up time quicker, but the image quality itself is also in a different league. To illustrate my point here are some images that show the difference in picture quality between the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4.

The image set above was taken in less than ideal conditions to show the shooting power of the new camera. Both images were scaled down in-camera during the upload process to this blog to 640 x 480px. For both images I set the focal point as the edge of the wine glass in the photo. As you can see the iPhone 4 deals with this tricky lighting situation much better than its predecessor.
