Familiar for RFF pattern about receiving emails post here. :)
So, I received Magnum weekly email... First of all, I learned what they don't want gifted photographers, but professional and they acting on selection like bunch of bureaucrats. No wonder Vivian out sell most of them...

But I found worth of reading what Gueorgui Pinkhassov has to say about iPhone photography.

Many messages in this article. One is to tell professional photographers to get lost. ;) Another how great is Instagram. (Most crappy GUI I ever seen).
Some of his mobile phones photos are obviously good for me, but here is one big technical aspect I have noticed.
Prior to this, years ago I have discussion with photog who was at the top of 500pix and recently with one Leica and photography expert on LUF.
Both were against of SOOC images. I never get this, I like to get it right and SOOC and in the article Pinkhassov came to same conclusion, it seems:
"...Later, I rejected all the filters in Instagram... I permit myself to change the borders of the image, even though I do it very rarely, but I do not allow any manipulation with Photoshop. "

To me it is 100% applicable for any digital camera photography. SOOC is good if you are good enough. IMO. :)
