Traveling with Hipstamatic




© Fabio Scapaticci

Looking at a beautiful picture we often wonder with which camera was taken, thinking that good equipment is capable of excellent images. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Today, digital technology has changed the concept of photographic tools. Probably the best camera is the one that we always carry with us .
Today we can start talking about the iphone as a tool for taking pictures, with a number of dedicated applications (one of the most used is Hipstamatic) allows photographers to express their creativity.
Recently appear, on a professional level, the first report made with iphone published on New York Times. Photographer Damon Winter went to northern Afghanistan for a reportage and grabbed still photos using Hipstamatic. This is is just the beginning of a new concept of photography such different from the analog era.
