Graphic Thoughts

In early October, the author traveled with his wife, Pam, and their good friends Jason and Heather Forgey to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. In planning to head to paradise, he seriously considered taking PixelPops' superslick Canon 5D Mark II DSLR camera (which seems to be all the rage right now in the filmmaking world). Ultimately, he decided against it and figured his compact Apple iPhone would work best, since he'd already be using it for listening to tunes on the beach. He became even more convinced when, just days before their tip, he stumbled onto an iPhone app called The Best Camera designed by Chase Jarvis. Once installed, simply launch the app, and along the bottom of the interface you'll see four icons. As you apply a filter, Best Camera is actually remembering your filter settings. The Best Camera is definitely one of the most useful iPhone apps on the market.
