Sun hat.

iPhone 4S. Click the picture for the map.

I stopped by the MOMA Cindy Sherman show – of which more later – yesterday, in a seemingly deserted San Francisco, and found my eye diverted by the sun hat and red chevron.

Another reason why the point-and-shoot camera is dead. When you can’t be bothered to take gear with you, there’s always the phone. And GPS coordinates come with the territory. The iPhone’s camera is silent, so even at a range of two feet discretion is assured, and no excuses are needed for the quality of the results.

By the way, the above image printed splendidly at 13″ x 19″ on the HP DJ90 printer. While admittedly not a challenging picture to print, owing to the low contrast lighting and limited dynamic range, it does testify to the quality of the lens and sensor in the iPhone 4S.
