The Beginning

This is day 53.  For the last 53 days I have created and posted one iPhone 4S photo (processed solely on my iPhone and/or iPad) onto Instagram.  Each photo is then also posted on

1. my Flickr photostream (http://www.flickr.com/photos/11933550@N07/), 
2. my Twitter stream (DadCollinsPhoto) and 
3. my Pinterest Board (http://pinterest.com/dadcollins/my-instagram-iphone-photos/)

I started this self-imposed project to challenge my creativity and get engaged again in the photography world after a bit of a sabbatical.  

So I finally decided to move this activity to this blog space.  Over time I will post all the prior iPhone photos onto this blog and I will post each daily photo here also.  I plan to also include some occasional how-to tips and descriptions for select photos and a few of my personal thoughts once I get going. 

So for the first blog photo post I include here my 53rd day photo:

What lights your fire?

Just an iPhone photo of the flame on a BIC barbecue lighter in front of a black background.  Processed with the Filterstorm and PhotoStudio app for cropping, framing, contrast and saturation adjustments.

More to come.......
