As spring draws near and the temperatures swing tease-fully close to the positives, I have adventured outside of my burrow to wintery cityscape. However, the winter-wonderland that was to be expected is but a rather dry and windy place, with an occasional ice patch here and there, just to make sure we know it is still to some extent the season of snow.
As you have noticed if you follow me on Twitter, I have recently started to seriously put my iPhone to work by updating my statuses with images, whenever the social situation or the fact that I did not have my large camera with me, caused me to have no alternative. Due to the nature of the tiny iPhone camera and poor ISO performance, the images are not remotely comparable to SLR images (hence in order to spare you the shock and assumption that suddenly my photographic skill has disappeared), I marked the ones taken with the iPhone with a little stamp.
The other day, in fact, when I spent a little time with my friend Marko at Starbucks, he pointed out to me that there is a specific app for the iPhone that gives pictures a LOMO feel. I tried it and I think it rocks! (the app name is MoreLOMO and its free!) See for yourself:

Today I had a chance once again to use the iPhone. As I was walking downtown, I passed through city hall where a chess tournament was taking place. Here’s a panorama tool app in action! (the name of the app is Pano and is available in the iPhone app store for ~$2; Also available for FREE is PanoStudio)

Upstairs at city hall they recently posted a beautiful hand crafted canoe received by the Kitchener City Hall from the Native Peoples of Canada.
