Last week I got a new toy for Stevie; it’s this cool macro lens attachment designed for iPhones that I got from Photojojo. As much as I focus on street photography, I really love doing macro shots because it’s like journeying into a whole different world or landscape. Perspectives change so that ordinary objects become seemingly alien territories.

I had a lot of fun with some random coins that I found around the house, including an Australian dollar that somehow made it’s way into my possession. I used the lens to get a cool shot of a quarter too.

One thing I did realize is that the lens also is kind of a microscope that shows you EVERYTHING, which may be a bad thing depending on what you’re looking, especially if it’s your computer keyboard. Gross! Seeing that up close made me go run for disinfectant, q-tips and anti-bacterial spray when I saw what it looked like up close.
That aside, I love my new lens and Stevie is thrilled with it. Of course I will be sharing as I continue to copiously shoot 
Those are awesome shots! The attachment is for iPhones? I must check this out. I’ll admit I’ve been enjoying taking pictures with my iPhone more than my camera. Have you tried getting prints of pictures you’ve taken with your iPhone?
Thanks, April
Yes, the attachments is designed for iPhones. There’s also Olloclip, which seems to be pretty popular too.
As I wrote in on one of my previous posts, http://www.blog.jaimeetodd.com/stevie-vs-lulu/, it’s a lot easier to tote my iPhone around to take shots than my bigger DSLR, especially when it comes to street photography.
I’ve made and sold quite a few prints with my iPhone photography since the resolution is pretty amazing. Definitely check out Photojojo.
Totally cool shots!!!!!!!!!!
