Even though I don’t have an iPhone (actually have a HTC Droid 1st gen) , I am starting to warm up to the idea of cellphone photography. I find myself always with my cellphone and sometimes with my camera. Just seems to make sense that I learn get the most out of the camera with….which is a perfect lead in to my recent book purchase this past weekend, The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You: iPhone Photography by Chase Jarvis.

I featured the Chase Jarvis photo blog a few months ago. I love the energy of his photo shoots. Everyone seems to be having a great time during the sessions. And the photos; incredible!

So in seeing this book on the shelf, by a photographer whose work I greatly admire, I just had to pick it up. Great photos!

This book is not a “how-to” instructional manual on using your iPhone to produce award-winning photos. Rather, this book is a collection of awesome images taken by Chase with his cellphone and proof that the only prerequisite for fine photography is a photographer’s skill and creativity, not the equipment.
