Aperture 3 (lite) for the Apple iPad... This for me would be a no-brainer of a purchase on so many levels as a professional photographer out on location.

 

This device screams out to have Aperture 3 on it. Obviously in a 'lite' version...

I have to admit, I love Aperture. It makes my workflow, and in turn, my life so much easier. One of its killer features is the ability when out on location or in the studio to work with the creative team that is commissioning the work to finalise the overall look and feel as well of course the images of the selection. The final detailed attention doesn't need to be done there and then, back and wait for the powerhouse back in the studio.

I have no issue with carrying around my MacBook Proto do this work went out on location. But from a client's perspective it's still very hands off. The iPad I can see this can help make the work that we do more personal to those that commission it.

Just the ability to hold decent sized images in your hand, bring it closer to scrutinise, or just flipped through the proofs almost as if they were on a light table will in front of you. It's the touching that makes it a whole different ball game.

Take into account the likely ability for many cameras to hook up via the WiFi and then on top of that connect to the outside world via 3G and you have got yourself a very clever yet very portable, extremely useful and of course very cool tool set.

I don't need or want the full horsepower when I'm out on the road. I also don't need or want to be carrying around a portfolio case which is insured to the hilt in addition. The iPhone is just too small to make it. The iPad is bang on.

Assuming of course we can get the likes of Aperture running on it, or indeed an equivalent.

As a final thought, just imagine painting on exposure with your finger. Enhancing detail with edge sharpening with your finger. Effectively painting with your hands. There is a reason why primary school children love finger painting so, so much. And it is simply that they are connected physically and in turn emotionally with their work.

Bring it on...

While I agree that as a photographer this device would be excellent to carry around, I am much more interested in it from a portfolio standpoint than editing images.

Everybody’s got something they had to leave behind One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time. There’s no use looking back or wondering How it could be now or might have been.

Sometimes it is not what happens that is the gift but what we learn. This is our doing - it is not the awful event that is the gift but how we respond.

Thanks for remembering a peaceful man who impacted so many of us.
I can call up the shock and sadness I felt on that day 27 years ago and yet I try to remember all the beauty in words, music and art he bought to the world.
give Peace a chance.

I am in love with the images, they are like a candy flossed version of Shuji Terayama's work, thanks for sharing this with us!
and the dip bleached denim jacket is just phenomenal! The way it has been dip bleached on the bottom part, but still has the stone washed puckered seams is amazing and I would love to know how this was washed to achieve the end look. Very interesting.
