Yup, though I think the iPhone is already past the stage of needing establishing itself as legitimate photography device--especially with Damon Winter's shots last year.

Not having looked at your links: It's the photographer, not the camera.

This seems to be a common trend for a lot of people. Why did you choose not the look at the links since there's barely any other content in this thread? And the OP's link is all photos, so it's not like we're asking you to summarize a 42-page whitepaper on lense development since WWI.

Because I was taking a big, smelly dump during worktime. Happy?

And neither was I. I was pointing out the issue with not reading the OP's link, but still feeling the need to respond with a tired cliche. It's like two people spouting monologues in the same room.
As for the photos themselves, the first shot with the guy in the shadows has something interesting going on, but that's about it. Feel like the photographer could've done more since he's using such a non-imposing device.

Would you prefer he take head shots of people in the street? My limited understanding of "street" photography is that its all about context. I could be wrong. Enlighten me.

I agree with you that street is about the larger context, people interacting with the environment, but I feel there also needs to be an extra element going on (e.g. compositionally, juxtaposition of content, something surreal/emotional). Aside from the first photo with the silhouetted character, I don't see much of "that" going on.
Lemme know if anything of that was unclear--need to get ready to leave soon.

Fair enough.

A petty critique, but I hate those fake borders from Silver Efex Pro unless you modify them heavily - the roughness looks so fake, it only looks semi-natural if you move that slider to make them as clean as possible.
