I watched an $850 dollar print taken with an Iphone march out of a gallery in Rockland last week.

And the Iphone photography class at Maine Media Workshops is quite popular. Many of the students(taking the Iphone class) are working pro's that are taking advantage of another tool.

The $850 print was a simple -set- shot of a dress in an old room. A method of printing that added another layer of interest, was applied by the photographer(she works in digital, film, etc).

Looking back, at first I thought the image was a painting. Printing methods can unlock hidden images. Once I realized it was a digital image, I liked it even more. I had no idea(nor interest really) what equipment took the image. I remember that image in a large gallery filled mostly with paintings, was outstanding.

I looked at it for some time, and that's when it sold to a guy next to me. The fact it was an iphone may have made an impression on the buyer but I didn't hear any mention of that as the photographer took the image down to wrap up.
