~Holga*the clouds really amazed me that day, because it had been raining and gloomy when i arrived in nanjing. but look at them clouds!
*edited this pic with lightroom: saturation, brightness, contrast and recovery. compelled to list the tweaks, else i'd feel like i've cheated because it's on film. :)

Very exciting day! Released our first iPhone app, PicPosterous. Makes it easier than ever to post photos online
PicPosterous was my pet project. I really wanted to do some iPhone development and build a better way to publish photos. I wasn't completely satisfied with the the workflow of posting photos via email. Yeah, that's what Posterous is all about, but I felt it needed to be better.
So just as Posterous came about to fill our personal need for better web publishing, PicPosterous was built to solve my own publishing frustrations.
- Why is my Camera app separate from the app I use to post online (Mail)?
- I just want all the photos I take to get posted, automatically
- I want to build sets of photos as I take them, not at the end
- Basically, I want to remove the explicit "Ok, now I need to post these"
I designed PicPosterous to replace the Camera app on my iPhone. PicPosterous is my camera in the cloud, it's connected, it breaks down the separation of shooting photos and posting photos. If I could delete Camera from my phone, I would.
I've been using the app for a couple months now while it was still under development. When the first Posterous prototype was built, the number of photos on my blog went up 10x. Similarly, I'm now posting more photos thanks to PicPosterous.

I used the app a ton on my last trip to New York. I created an album for each restaurant/bar/attraction I went to and posted the photos as I took them. By the end of the weekend, my photos were already organized and published online:

Developing for the iPhone was a really great experience. The SDK and development tools are phenomenal. I prefer desktop and mobile development over web stuff. There were some really interesting details to tackle with iPhone development:
- The iPhone is very resource limited. It's slow and has little memory
- I threaded *everything*. The app basically never blocks
- Uploads queue and resume if you quit the app and relaunch (or get a phone call)
- PicPosterous was designed to let you shoot as fast as possible, and let everything else happen in the background
- You can even take photos and video with no internet. They will queue for upload later
- The app is fast, smooth, and stable

Many thanks to Kate for designing the awesome icon!
The Posterous iPhone app is out! PicPosterous takes away all the pain from sharing photo sets and video online
The new Posterous iPhone app removes all the friction with posting photos and video online. PicPosterous is designed to be a replacement for the Camera app on your phone, posting photo sets and video to your Posterous site *live, as you take them*.
After taking your first photo at an event, create a new album and name it something, say "Glass blowing in SF". That post will be created online and the first photo you selected will be added. Now, throughout the day, continue taking photos or video. Each photo you take can be added to the album you created earlier, creating an image gallery on your site.
When you are done with that event and ready to go home, there's nothing more to do! Your photos and video
are already online. And in typical Posterous style, you don't need an account to use the app, posts include location information with Google Maps, we'll autopost to your other services, and email your posts to your subscribers.
At Posterous, we believe in making posting easier. And PicPosterous is just another way to get photos and video on your site quickly. Instead of having to wait until the end of an event to post a set of images, let them post live as you take them.
PicPosterous is available in the iTunes App Store now. Click here to download it.
You can find more information about PicPosterous on our new PicPosterous help site.
