Soon Enough!

Of course they worked with some of today’s top photographers in a round-table discussions to come up with great ways that they could help structure your thinking about projects. It’s pretty impressive really. Here’s a quick video I shot of the app and some of what Paul and I discussed. Excuse the glare. You turn on the app. You’re presented with fields to fill in. The fields are location, subject, feeling, and technique. You then hit done and it creates a great little graphical inspiration type poster
