I think of each photograph as a visual haiku. In and of the moment, any moment, captured/frozen, sometimes with action, sometimes still, but never to be repeated in the exact same way.

I own a few cameras, but I shoot almost exclusively with my iPhone. Not only is it always with me, but the apps are pushing the boundaries of what a photographer with a cameraphone can create and I'm excited to play in that sandbox. I am even more excited to be part of a growing community of immensely talented iphoneographers who are incredibly original, supportive and inspiring.

I shoot with:
iPhone 4S
Canon 50D
Leica V-Lux 1
Canon Powershot S90

Cameras gone, but not forgotten:
iPhone 4
iPhone 3GS
Canon 10D
Canon Powershot SD550
Canon Powershot SD870
Canon Powershot S400

    "Though they are few and far between, there are those people out there who not only impress but inspire.

    Anthony is one of these people.

    Regardless if he's using his iPhone or his Canon, he not only showcases a clear understanding of photography fundamentals, but, more so, displays a seemingly intuitive sense of capturing his subjects in a manner that is not only interesting but memorable. I could go through each of his photos and wax philosophic, but I think it most beneficial to say a few words and then not just suggest you check out his photostream, but implore you to. You’ll see for yourself that he presents photos that are layered—that tell stories.

    And, beyond his careful yet deliberate use of post-processing, fantastic composition, and interesting subjects, there is more. Be it is shots of Lego Star Wars or found typography, there is a subtle humor that is often present in his photos. He's not only sharing pieces of his life, but he's doing it with wit.

    Finally, one need look no further than his recent “bubbles” or the older “red cloak” to witness the gift he has to capture and present so many aspects of our daily lives in interesting ways.

    However, besides being an amazing photographer, Anthony is a consistent voice of quality feedback. He eschews hackneyed comments like “nice” and “great shot” to, instead, provide feedback that is both thoughtful and helpful. The influence that his comments and photos have had on my own photography is profound.

    He's become somebody I consider a friend.

    He's become somebody who motivates me to continually look at life in a different manner and, as a result, has not only helped me to better understand photography, but, more importantly, better see the world."

    "Great Advices about cameras, helpful comments, awesome and really own style.
    Nevertheless, he's the example that whatever the camera you own, you and only you are able to create your shot."

    "Day in & day out, this photostream is overflowing with creative, clever & captivating imagery. What Anthony is able to produce--most often using simply an iPhone and a few dollars worth of apps--is nothing short of extraordinary (in fact, it quite often puts to shame what others produce using thousands of dollars worth of equipment). His singular talent for viewing everyday objects, signage & life through a unique POV always challenges me to do the same."

    "Anthony alias the "gobble monster" is a very creative guy.
    If you maroon him in the most boring city only with an iphone in his hand, he would be able to take awesome pictures!
    Anthony, whatever you took and whatever you will shot in the futur, your pictures are often inspiring me, keep that great work on man!

    You better check his photostream accurately, then you'll see what I mean!!

    ¡hasta luego!
