iPhone Scrapbook: Harrison Boyce

2012 was a great year for me. I got to travel all over the world, work on some great projects and spent my time with some amazing people. I was going through all my photos to put a gallery together, but ended up having too many for one gallery, so I split them up into two. The first one is all my iPhone photos. I always try to shoot as much as I can on regular cameras, but can never put my phone down and probably shoot twice as many photos on my phone as I do any other camera. I posted a lot of these on my Instagram and Tumblr, but it’s fun to look at them all together in one gallery. Keep reading to check out my iPhone photos and check back for my second gallery sometime this week!

Why not just use a real camera?

Yes. For just $250, you too can have your iPhone look like an optometrists office.

Nothing makes me want to drop more internet acronyms (WTF, LOL, SMH, GTFOOH) than absurd iPhone camera accesories. Are people really buying this shit? I might be mistaken, but we all have iPhones for the ease it provides. Once you start carrying extra bits and/or the thing no longer fits in your pocket, than the purpose is defeated. Right? The fact that an iPhone can already take amazing photos should be good enough, but no, we want more. Even if you already have real camera gear, don’t worry, you too can take a few steps backwards. ROFL.

I know some of you want the dopest instagram photos on the block, but come on. I am willing to give a pass to the cute little wide angles though. BUT THAT’S IT!!!!!!

I’ve never actually seen much of this stuff out in the wild, but there must be a market for it if people are still trying to get stuff like this off the ground.

For me personally, I’ve noticed that I’m using my iPhone in place of my film P&S more these days for casual daily photos, which is pretty interesting. This is partly due to instagram and a few sweet photo apps (which is all I need to get my iPhonography on). I’m guessing some of you are probably in the same boat as well.

Where am I going with all this? Basically, don’t be this guy.

Matty Lambert’s 5 Favorite iPhone Apps

Matty Lambert. When I think of Matty, I for some reason think about iPhone apps and technology based awesomeness. I previously described him as “the tallest, most iPhone app savvy English person I know”.  Could have been the time he shared his wealth with Harrison and I during a dinner at the Nike POOL thing last year.

I asked Matty about his 5 favorite iPhone apps. Click below to see what he chose.

Get Perforated.

I’ve been running the perforated INCASE case on my 3G for a while now, and I’m stoked on it. It’s light, sweet looking and has just enough grip without being a bitch to get in and out of your pockets.

Now all you iPhone 4/iPad users can get in on the action too.

Visualator

Over the last week, a bunch of random triangular illustrations popped up in my Flickr contact updates. Upon further investigation, one of the dudes I follow had a hand in creating an iPhone app for Computer Arts and Computer Arts Projects magazine. The app is called Visualator, and was created solely with Flash CS5 as an interactive showcase for what’s possible with the platform.

I downloaded the FREE app and messed around a bit with the “Triangulate” portion and created the amazingness you see above. Take a screen shot cuz this will be worth millions in a few years. I don’t know if I will be on this app everyday, but it is definitely fun to have and mess with. You can get crazy with it I’m sure.

If you’re a fan of colors/shapes/textures/artsy-stuff-in-general and have an iPhone, check out Visualator.

24 Hour Starck Mix

24_hour_starck_mix

I just picked up the new issue of Wallpaper today that features two guest editors; Philippe Starck and Karl Lagerfeld. Each editor was given 27 pages to do what the like. On the very last page of Philippe Starck’s section is a promotion for a soundtrack composed and mixed by Soundwalk.  What’s unique about this mix is it’s a 24 hour mix that is streaming online as well as in a accompanying iPhone app. So this means that when you press play, the mix will start from the exact time it is in your current time zone not matter where you are in the world. You can listen to the mix on the Wallpaper.com, or Starck.com and you can download the app in the iTunes store, just search for “24 Hour Starck Mix”. Make sure to check it out soon because the mix will only be available until the end of the month!

WOOD

Just got done watching this little video, which is essentially a commercial made to promote the HunterGatherer | Incase | Arkitip iPhone case and laptop sleeve.

However, this does give you some insight into the creative process of the guys who run the studio, as well as some cool stop motion animation in the middle.

Enjoy!

Hard Graft

Hand Graft

While browsing Kitsune Noir I quickly fell in love with Hard Graft. Hard Graft is a accessories company focusing on bags and technology related items. I’m really loving their New High collection and I could definitely use a Y Laptop sleeve for quick meetings and trips to the coffee shop. But I think the product I was most psyched on, was their Mousemat Snap. A great solution for traveling, especially when you can’t find a blank surface for your mouse.

“Each individual hard graft product shows an impeccable old-world craftsmanship, timeless appeal and future thinking. We don’t follow the norm, we don’t follow the current fashion trends, instead we take our inspiration from past and present to create all time classics.”

Check out the Hard Graft site here and like any good company you can check their photos on Flickr, follow them on Twitter, and check their blog on Tumblr.

Getting Rich from iPhone Apps

ny times iphone app rich

I just read this article at lunch (on my iPhone using the NY Times App) about people making lots of money by developing iPhone apps. The article showcases a few different people’s stories, but the main developer, Ethan Nicholas, on his peek day, made $35,000 in 24 hours off the royalties from his app iShoot. Pretty nuts!

Check out the article here.

BMX GRUB iPHONE APP

bmx_grub

Dustin Griess has been working on a BMX app for the iPhone, and It is now available. Dustin surprised me with the sweetness in Minnesota last month (it was on his iPhone), and I was very impressed with it. It is now available for free to anyone with an iPhone. Simply do a search for “BMX”, and it will show up.

The BMX GRUB app allows you to check updates from a bunch of different sites (including Defgrip), with just a few steps. It was a little buggy for me yesterday, but it’s been all good this morning when I was messing with it.

Check the press release below.

What The Font

picture-12

Ever get int a situation where you see a font you are into, but have no idea what it is? This happens to me on a daily basis, so I was super stoked to come across this iPhone app. It’s an extension of What The Font, the web based app, but they way it works, is you take a photo with your iPhone of the sign or photo or whatever it is has the font you are into, run it through the What The Font app and you’ll get a list of possible options of what that font could be! I have tried it a few times and it’s been pretty good… A few fonts didn’t register, but if you are into design and have an iPhone, this is a must! The best part about it is it’s free.

Check it all out here and if you don’t have an iPhone, check out their web based version!
