Good i
iPhone Photos by Mary E. Carter
“One should have a good eye . . . and be a good friend.”
—Pirke Avot 2:9
Every morning, along with my first cup of coffee, I pick up my
iPhone and thumb through yesterday’s photos. Then I text
today’s ‘hero’ photo to a short list of friends. And every
morning I get a line, or a word or two, or sometimes an
expressive emoji, in response to the day’s picture. It’s our
way to stay in touch with each other without being too
intrusive. Then, as I go about my day, I tuck my iPhone in
my hip pocket and I keep an eye out for pictures for the
next morning.
We live in the northern escarpment of the Sandia Mountain
Range in New Mexico, USA where even the dirt can be photogenic.
