Rest assured — I look at every single LUG posting.
Even though I do not comment on every single LUG posting.

I rarely comment on work which is simply consistently of high quality.
It seems very redundant to continue to say the same thing to the same people.

I usually comment when something seems exceptionally good;
or exceptionally troublesome to my eye.

Ted's work with his iPhone seems well above "Happy Snaps."
The old adage that "the best camera is the one you have with you."
seems perfectly illustrated with Ted's Instagram collection.

He obviously knows very well when, why and how to use a camera.
He also seems to know when to apply the various canned Instagram Filters;
to good advantage; without getting too clichéd in the process.

All in all an impressive collection.

I find it quite interesting that many who used their iPhones to record virtually everything in their life
often achieve, through laws of probability, the occasional rather fantastic photograph.

Ted on the other hand obviously practices "the art of photography;"
using his iPhone as his tool of choice.
