First impressions
It's much thinner than I expected, and feels smooth and expensive (no kidding) and gorgeous to hold. This is something I want to pick up and bring everywhere. The touch-screen works beautifully - not least because of visual and audio feedback for every single action. Zooming in on maps, thumbing (literally) through photo albums.. Yes, the user-interface is the best on any device, ever.
The "fake physics" used in every control (when you scroll a page by flicking it, it bounces when it gets to the end) is amazing. So fast and smooth. Subtle, obvious, immersive: damn those guys are good.
Typing will take a little more practice. I would not want to type this much text for example.
The built-in applications work great. Typically Apple, they appear limited until you discover new features. An age-old problem for mobile phones: how to you manage cut-and-paste between apps? Apple solution: don't do it. Just think of the reason anyone might want to cut-and-paste, and find a way to make that happen - for example, emailing a YouTube movie address to your contact is a button press.
Nerd issues
Wifi works very well indeed. But why can't I do my syncing over Wifi? I want to sync my music, videos, updated contacts without docking. Sure, syncing music and video would require an iTunes rewrite, but I should be able to sync my .Mac contacts, web bookmarks at the very least.
Web site designers are going to be working overtime to be optimizing web pages for the iPhone. Of course, most web pages just work, but imitating the iPhone look, feel and user-friendliness is going to keep them busy (and happy).
JavaScript rendering on web pages is SLOW. This will cause me to rethink some of my own projects. Also, the automatic screen rotation is a double-edged sword. Do you design your web apps for landscape or portrait? How do you know which is which? There will be some challenges here (fun ones though!)
Applications have no exit button. You don't stop them, you don't worry about stopping them. You press the one physical control on the device to get to the home screen, and launch another. Man, how Windows Mobile got grief for not having a close button. Just goes to show how perception, marketing, expectations, design conquers all.
File system. The iPhone has a file system. Do you know this? No. You can't explore the file system, or browse for files, or do anything that exposes the fact this is a computer. Again, compare to this WIndows Mobile which you KNOW is a computer trying to be a phone. For 99.99% of people, not caring a jot about a file system is great news. For anyone expecting to save email attachments, not so great. But again - why do you want to save attachments on a phone?
This is actual a combination of images of two different streets in our town. I then did a black and white image and the original color image and layered them together to make this image. It kinds of reminds me of that show (Charlie Jade) but with a cheap car. Corel and Exposure 2 was used in each layer. I should also add that the shadow that looks like a huge spider was not planned...but i like it!

A Distorted Perception
My monthly New Braunfels Photographic Society Club meeting is coming up on Monday and this month's theme is "Distorted." We could distort the image in camera using a variety of technical choices or distort in post-processing which is what I chose to do.
As most of you know, I've been working on overcoming my anxiety. I've been seeing my therapist and reading books. I've been using self-portraits as a way to be introspective and to push myself to grow. When I look in the mirror, I see a distorted perception, a reflection that isn't accurate. I pick apart faults... my nose is crooked, my upper lip is getting too thin, those wrinkles are more pronounced, look at all that gray hair, my face is too asymmetrical, just how many chins can one woman have?... it's shameful. I shame myself.
Shame is what keeps me in anxiety and misperception. I'm reading Dr. Brené Brown's I Thought It Was Just Me which is all about how shame keeps us from living an authentic life. I am changing this. I've been journaling. Someday I may will share my stories. I spent some time yesterday in front of my camera, alone, and made myself feel pretty. Some day I may will have the confidence to share some of those images. Until then, I will be kinder to myself.
If you live with anxiety, insecurity, perfectionism, or shame, read Dr. Brené Brown. You are worth it. Thanks for looking!
At a university fair I found a mirror box made by an art student. The idea was to promote creativity by attracting kids who'd like to have selfies "like no other" :)) But as someone interested in the working of the mind I found it to be one of the best things at the fair. I've just couldn't resist taking a selfie in the mirror box, to show that right angles can make space distortions ... it's all about perception.

Depending on your perceptions of the current state of the traditional painting in a technology obsessed popular culture of gadgets, Michael Kutsche is either simply a friend, healer, or necromancer of painting. Creative Tempest believes generally in extremes, and so to us Michael Kutsche as a necromancer of traditional painting. With magic and mathematical spells he speaks an incantation over the corpse of a blank canvas bringing it back to life by filling it with cinematic and surreal visions.
