Patterns From an iPhone App
I have been having a lot of fun using an iPhone app called Mirrorgram. It makes snazzy mirrored patterns and mandalas from any photograph. What used to take me hours to create in Photoshop, I am now able to create with just a snap and a few swipes on my iPhone 5. Amazing!
Once I start playing around with the app, I find it hard to stop. It is as mesmerizing as a kaleidoscope–except you get to keep all the wonderful patterns you create. It makes the most quotidian objects you photograph really special. Below you will see mirrored images of a plastic grass drying rack, a striped jersey jacket and a ring on my finger.

Fantastic – each more interesting than the last. It amazes what iPhones can do – and even more so in the hands of an imaginative artist such as you.
The iPhone can do amazing things with this apps–and the photo quality is pretty good.
