EYE'EM revolution?
EYE'EM launched what they called the mobile photography revolution. Nice thing.
I just don't understand what is so revolutionary about the centerpiece of their
revolution (the website), if you can already do almost all they say you can do there
in ... well ... Flickr:
(1) Search tags like "iphoneography" and the names of photographers you like, if you want.
(2) Once you have the results you can see the stream by clicking on slideshow. Example:
to get the photostream of the photographers that will be exhibited in September in the
Eyephoneography show in Madrid try this search:
"iphoneography AND (justwhatisee OR marcolacivita OR misspixel OR sionfullana)".
As you know, also on Flickr you can vote, comment, and order by interesting, recent, etc.
(3) There is no step 3. You don't need to sign up for a new service or monitor another website.
In the meantime, they will collect a huge amount of shots for free (and maybe one day
you will also have to pay to post on their site).
Is it reasonable to call something a "revolution" when it could have been done by using
Flickr to create a dedicated mobile photography group and move on from there?
