Berne, 5:45 - 6:15 PM, 10/15/2009 : I am developing a love-hate relationship with my iPhone. I absolutely hate the quality of pictures it takes, but am totally fascinated by what it does when you move it while shooting. The distortions it produces don't seem to fit a pattern. Sometimes it's the edges that get it, sometimes the center or only the left or right side. I am puzzled, but am enjoying the mystery, especially when I look at the result. I believe the iPhone has the potential of becoming another cult camera like the polaroid.  
This is one of my blitz-projects that only happen when I am bored, have time to kill and the iPhone is handy. This late afternoon I was waiting for a friend and did not want to wait in the cold. Rather than going for a nice cup of coffee, I kept walking around Berne's main station in unseasonably cold weather during the rush hour, all the time nonchalantly taking pictures as I was moving along. 
I converted the shots to black and white and fiddled with curves and contrast until I had the cold and slightly high-key look I wanted. Then, I applied the same setting to all photos. 
To many of you this may just look like a bunch of awful pictures. To me it is a 30-minute slice of life around Berne's main station on October 15, 2009. Totally random, but with some surprising effects.
BTW, the last two shots were taken on the train ride back to Zurich later that evening.
Comments are welcome.

Experiments : I just love to play around in Photoshop. Sometimes I'm successful at it, more often not. I've always been told, that my sense of beauty can go astray or run amok. 
This is going to be a receptacle for some of these experiments, especially when I'm not sure whether I have created something grand or a monster. Your comments are needed and highly welcome.

Up for critique : This gallery will hold random images submitted to the "Honest Feedback and Critique" community.  I may personally like or dislike these images for any number of reasons, but the reason for them being here is to solicit feedback and critiques from other individuals with the goal of improving my work.  Photographers and non-photographers should both feel free to add their input.   I'm  normally pretty critical of my own images, some say too critical, so there isn't anything you might tell me about my work that will somehow offend me.  Just let me know what's working and what's not in any given image, including everything from subject matter to composition and lighting.  Thanks for your time and input.
