Regular readers of Bernalwood might have noticed a beautiful trend: Folks are taking some amazing pictures these days, using nothing more than their mobile phones (and a pocket-sized arsenal of photo editing apps). A few shutterbugs are pushing the envelope with this technology, and Bernalwood contributor Troy Holden happens to be one of them.

Troy is also contributing to a new blog called Objective Scenes that’s devoted exclusively to iPhone photography. (“We knew him when…”) Here’s a snippet from the mission statement:

When I bought my first iPhone, I quickly became obsessed with documenting everything around me, but it wasn’t until Instagram came around that I started to think more aesthetically about my photos. I loved seeing great shots that other folks were taking with their mobile phones and got inspired to improve my skills. When I decided to start a photoblog, I knew I wanted to work with other photographers whose shots I was digging on Instagram.

So welcome to Objective Scenes, a group blog dedicated to mobile photography (aka iPhoneography). I’m excited to watch the blog grow and can’t wait to see the work my co-contributors (Troy, Tyson, and Victoria) post in coming weeks.

It’s great stuff, and there’s obviously lots more great stuff to come. Check out Objective Scenes!

Oh, and that photo at the very top? Troy took that one here in Bernalwood:

Seen early this morning in Bernal Heights while waiting for the bus, a neighbor waters her plants.

Here’s some more goodness from Objective Scenes:
