iPhone culture is here and it promises to change many things. Photography is one area where iPhone changes the game. Capturing, viewing and sharing experience is amazingly easy. I have been using iPhone for capturing my photowalking experience.

If you are new to the term “photowalking” then here is how Wikipedia defines it:

Photowalking is the act of walking with a camera for the main purpose of taking pictures of things you may find interesting.

Idea of photowalking extends to all cameraphones but iPhone makes this experience a total joy. Like iPhone keyboard, this experience grows on you and eventually you can capture, compose and share in less than a minute. Check some of these example photowalking pictures:

This is how you can do. First two are one time steps and will take 10minutes of your time.

• Sign-up with MessageDance (Leave comment if you have interest in photowalking, we will make sure you get preference in beta invitation)
• Once registered you can use email handle like “tweet @ messagedance.com” to send your photo messages to Twitter.

Now you can use following steps to create your photowalking experience using iPhone:

• Make sure iPhone is configured to send email. This email should be same as the one you used for MessageDance registration. (Multiple email support is coming soon but for now please use same email address)
• Capture picture using iPhone camera
• Switch to view mode
• Touch “Share” icon and you will see “Email Photo” button pop-up, click on that and iPhone mail compose will show up
• Enter subject and message body details. To field can be “tweet @ messagedance.com” or it can be your MessageDance handle like “asksam @ messagedance.com”. Once done, hit send. That’s it.

On Twitter, your photowalk picture will look like this. Notice nice little indicator:

Photowalking is very addictive so you have been warned :). Go ahead give it a shot. I am sure you will stop texting and start using pictures for communicating many of your daily experiences.
