iPhone camera is number one on Flickr
Today, Wired.com posted an article about the iPhone surpassing all other cameras to take the top spot on my favorite photo sharing website, Flickr. This isn’t surprising to me…I have over a thousand photos taken with the iPhone on there alone. Even cooler than that though was the fact they used one of my photos,…
