Everywhere I look around me, I see people with big SLR cameras endlessly taking photos and petting themselves on the back for taking great pictures. Well Apple wanted to show people that you don't need a big camera to take beautiful photos, you just need a good eye, good timing and an ability to see the beautiful world around you. All the pictures you are about to see were taken by an iPhone, iPod or iPad and have only been edited on device-based apps, no Photoshop.
