Over the past month or so I have really grown to enjoy using the iPhone camera application Instagram. Its simplicity of use along with the various effect filters move it to the top of my “go to” snapshot camera list. This week I am sharing some of my favorite pics taken with the app. Merry Christmas!

Yesterday I added the 7,000th image to my portfolio at iStockphoto. I found it fitting that the milestone image was taken last month at the iStock/Getty event in Tokyo, since the company has had such an enormous impact on my life – both photographically and personally.
Now it’s time to get back to photographing and editing my way toward the next milestone!

Today’s image is an example of a technique I use in my stock photography – using out of focus foreground objects to frame the subject.
In this image from from a recent series of stock photos I did at a shooting range, Jason (the subject) is carefully placed within the framing of the blurred foreground shooter. This technique goes along with what I have implemented in my stock photography for years – composing the image in three layers: foreground, subject and background with the foreground and background usually blurred.
