My photography these days is limited to what I can shoot with my iPhone 3Gs while I’m in between tasks. My old iPhone does a good enough job, and the post-processing apps are a big help. This was taken outside a large store (you’ll never guess which one) and was processed with the PictureShow app. [...]
