"Nicki Fitz-Gerald and Bob Weil at iPhoneographyCentral.com have built a community dedicated to the burgeoning collaboration between art and technology that is iPhoneography. Their site and now this book offer extensive in-depth tutorials both for budding iPhoneographers looking to advance their craft and professionals attempting to harness a new toolkit in service of their vision. What they bring to the table is their belief that revealing the man behind the curtain does not diminish the teacher. Technique does not the artist make but it does enable the newcomer to find his or her own voice. With thousands of apps available and more flooding the market daily every new iPhoneographer wonders What apps should I use? The answer to that question is so complex with so many variables that an illustrated tutorial such as this becomes an invaluable tool. There is really nothing like it. It does not offer the advice of a single artist or showcase images from a small artistic segment. Indeed it offers up stories knowledge tips and secrets from many of the key players in the formation of this movement showcasing more than 40 artists and tutorials and 80 pages of iPhonic art." - Daria Polichetti Co-Founder of Los Angeles Mobile Arts Festival
