While we cover a more serious brand of photography here at This Week in Photography, as an iPhone junky and a photographer, I couldn’t help being amused by this statistic I saw on Flickr.
According to Flickr, more camera phone photos on Flickr come from an iPhone than any other camera phone, including the much heralded Nokia N95.
Flickr points out that the graphs are only accurate to the extent that we can automatically detect the camera used to take the photo or shoot the video (about 2/3rds of the time). That is not usually possible with cameraphones, therefore they are under-represented.
While this really means nothing, I found it amusing and thought you might too.

I listen to your show when I work out sometimes. As I was trying to figure out your rubberband trick (crossing them to find the button) I kept waiting for the obvious solution to findng that darn button when trying to take a photo of yourself or with the camera turned away. So here’s the most simple way to take a self photo. You can place your finger on the button that takes the picture and hold it. Then turn it around, when your ready then move your finger off the button. Its that easy. So as long as you hold that button it won’t take a photo. Once you lift your finger the picture takes.
No more searching for that silly button! Thanks for your tips and show.
