Since joining flickr I have been having such a blast posting pics and checking out everyone's amazing photos and creative works of art. There's some really incredible stuff out there. Gazillions of pics to admire and enjoy...I'm like a kid in a candy store! :-D

I've always had a love of photography. I love taking photos and I love looking at photos. And it's so nice to get positive feedback from others on this site. Thank you for your interest, encouraging words, invitations, and supportive comments. It's wonderful meeting folks from around the globe who share this passion for photography and art. It truly IS a small world.

My "camera" of choice is my iPhone.

As far as post processing is concerned...yes, there IS some post processing involved. But only what I consider to be the necessary amount in order to restore some of the original information (i.e. QUALITY ~ that is, how I actually saw the image at the moment I shot it). Information that is lost during the transfer of the photo from the phone to the computer. I use Photoshop to make these corrections. And I RARELY crop my photos. Normally what you see is what I originally snapped — no cropping involved.

Thank you all for your inspiration. And for sharing your vision with the world.

    "I was first attracted to bananajode's images because of their unique color tones, composition and detail. We became each others contacts and found common ground in that we were both new to Flickr and trying to find our way around. The fact that Jodee does her photography with her phone simply blows me away but also explains how she gets some of the marvelous tones. If I was ever in a situation where the stakes were very high to come up with a great image in surroundings where there seemed to be no good images to be had, I would want Jodee Markovich there to take that pic. She has the most incredible eye and is sure to earn herself a spot doing whatever she wants to do with her photography. On top of all that, she is a very nice person with a great sense of humor."

    "I had the serendiptious occasion to land smack right in the middle of Jodee's photostream after she kindly posted a comment on one of my photos, and BOO-YAH--the rest is history! With a fabulous eye for detail, a charming wit that shines through in her spot-on titling, and a simple but powerful way of conveying the world around her, the girl's got game and she delivers too! I have to concur with ssnana65, Jodee makes the iPhone's camera look like a Canon EOS 1D Mark III in her hands (hear that, Apple? She's your next digital imaging Genius, so you'd better sign her now!). Tally-ho and Excelsior!!!"

    "I stumbled upon bananajode's photos - and wow! I have never written a testimonial - but I had to. When I think of someone picking up an i-phone and taking photographs, I do not think of an artist. You watch. This is an artist in the making."
