I’ve always been obsessed with the moment of inspiration, when an impression travels from an ambiguous notion to something more concrete. In my design, writing and photography I am interested in capturing that instant as a moment in time. The arrival of the iPhone created a personal device which was always in hand; it opened a door for me and I became more conscious of my surroundings and as a result my photography took on a new energy. No longer worried about bringing my camera along on my daily travels, my camera was my phone, was my computer, my stereo. In an instant it was out and directed at some space, some impression, some shadow, or swath of color catching my attention. My photography thru the iPhone also migrated due to the vast library of Photography Applications. The drive to capture something is always a vague ambiguous impression, so with the insertion of the application process I’ve been able to push the captured imagery back into that ambiguous state. Beyond mere documentation, the altered imagery moves from factual to a more poetic fiction. The world each day is a new canvas awaiting the eye; to make the familiar strange. Adam Mead
