So Tuesday I found you just can’t take a photo using Instagram on your iPhone when wearing winter gloves, because the only shutter button is the “virtual” button on the screen, and you can push and push and the only thing that happens is that you’re pushing the phone away from so so that if it did click (which it won’t), you wouldn’t get the picture you were trying to take anyway. But with the standard iPhone photo app it’s not an issue, because you can use the volume button for the shutter. Took a little bit of practice, figuring out how to orient it, but it worked very well, not even requiring me to “level” the shot in photoshop like I usually have to.

Nice but slow ride today. Just Kevin (pilot) and Eric; the other Kevin had jury duty (which he ended up being excused from, but not until two days into the selection process for a trial. Epilepsy is a pretty good get-off-the-jury ticket, because a seizure causes a loss of the prior couple minutes of memory, so a juror with a seizure could be a bit more than mildly disruptive to the process).

Getting back to the iPhone/Instagram thing, it really is pretty strange that Instagram can’t use the same conventions and the regular photo app. Maybe it can and I just don’t know how. I’d better get it all figured out soon though because Nigel’s coming back and that’s going to kick up the pace of things quite a bit. Makes photos very hard to take when you’re totally gassed!
