Self-Portrait
Monday, August 10, 2009
Two (2) people wanted to know how my visit to Anouk had changed me, and there is simply no way I can ignore such a large percentage of my readership. I therefore took this self-portrait yesterday morning at 9:28 on top of Le Suquet in Cannes. Many people make it needlessly difficult to take iPhone pictures of themselves; they hold the device awkwardly and blindly tap the side they can’t see in search of the shutter button. There’s a much easier way. The iPhone takes the picture when one releases the button, not when one taps it. Therefore, one can place a finger on top of the button, aim the camera, take the finger off, and voilà -- the shutter is released. This comes in handy in a variety of other shooting situations.
