iPhone Photography Potential  
MacOSG Mac NewsA MacOSG Member writes "If you are interested in photography or looking for creative inspiration take a look at the website www.justwhatisee.com. The photographer Greg is obviously fine with any camera in his hands, but his fresh approach to seemingly simple but glorious iPhone capture is amazing. His approach is empowering, liberating as it encourages less costly, heavy equipment and a greater use of our eyes and brains. More time shooting and capturing our inspirations, less time fiddling with machinery and losing the moments! It shows us how important a well developed personal vision can be, and points us in the direction of learning to see again. "
