It’s me, not the phone
Posted By Mike Orren in Square Pegs on July 1, 2009
About a year ago, Allison V. Smith came by to visit with our staff. While providing some great photographic advice, she shattered my illusion that my less-than-great iPhone snapshots were the fault of the device rather than the operator.
Today, the NY Times Lens Blog picked up on her great iPhone photo work, proving once again that it's more talent than tools.
(Hat tip to Frontburner. Also, you should read my favorite Allison V. Smith story here.)

One of your average but loyal reader's iPhone photo was selected to be a part of the nytimes.com cell phone gallery.
I would share the image with you but I'm still un-verified. sniffle...sniffle...sob!

Please somebody verify jtmbls.I'll swear I've known her for over a year. Tell me the secret handshake and I'll verify her myself.

All you have to do is click through about 70 photos, Gwen -- jeez, they really buried yours in there, didn't they, Tumbles? Nice picture, though. :)

I got vertified like a week after or so. I guess they had to meet their quota of allowing minorities in.

But Jesus you were using what we all assume to be your real name as opposed to a screen name. I would happily fill out the required information if my screen name would still appear with my comments. I keep hoping that my incessant whining will eventually just wear Mike out and verified people can keep their super cool screen names like abnormalus or DogMa or LoLoAloha instead of something extra lame like...Oh, I don’t know...Scott Doyle or the like.

If there were any thing verified extra lame, that would be it.
