A Strong iPhoneography Community is Important for the Art

We have the great good fortune of being on the front end of a new art form. Along with that glee comes the responsibility to help build the strongest iPhoneography community we can. You see, a strong community of artists builds a strong product, which in turn generates interest not only in that immediate product but also attracts new participants. Those new participants go on to become not only contributing members the community with a strong appreciation for the work of others but also - for you commercially-minded artists out there - are much more inclined to purchase iPhoneography.

We build a strong community through participation - commenting on the work of others (at several times the rate at which we post) - as well as through education. Taking a long, thoughtful look at the pieces produced by fellow members helps not only the artist who created the work (by giving them a fresh POV), but also the intelligent artist who is commenting on the work by forcing them to stop, look, react, think, disassemble, and generally inform their own artistic processes.

(more soap-boxing as time allows)

Because different websites have different username requirements – things like “no caps” or “no hyphens” – we’ve had to adopt a couple of different versions of our name to really mess up your attempt to find us.

We’re known as unruly-e (note the hyphen) at:

our domain name (unruly-e.com)
our corporate name (unruly-e, LLC) so it’s our legal, official-like moniker
