Richard Hernandez and the iPhone: 54 Days, 54 Images on the 54 Bus in Oakland

I jumped on the Richard Koci Hernandez fan-wagon a few years back out of appreciation for his wonderfully produced multimedia pieces and the innovative design of MerciuryNewsPhoto.com. Through server hackings and crashes, I've religiously followed his MultimediaShooter blog as it has grown to be one of the main web sources for multimedia producers, photographers and creative thinkers. Beyond his shooting style – which is awesome – I am always fascinated by what he might do next. Without a doubt, Hernandez embraces the technology at hand and uses it to explore the world around him. But technology is only a vehicle of gathering and distribution. He never looses touch of the fundamentals of strong images and good story telling. Here is an example:

I gave myself 54 Days to shot 54 images on my daily ride on the 54 bus in Oakland. Everything was produced using my iPhone, images, music and titles. I used these iPhone apps: CameraBag, Melodica, Brushes and Banner.
