One year on from the crippling earthquake that hit Haiti, photographer Jeremy Cowart revisited the Island nation after his previous tour in which he tried to aid the people in any way he could (also see his Voices of Haiti gallery). Apart from documenting the relief efforts as a volunteer for Hope International, the entertainment, fashion and travel photographer shot a personal journal on a much less intrusive device; his iPhone.

Apple's little snapper is becoming ever more popular among pro shooters, be it as stills or videos, including a new wave of music videos being shot on the iPhone 4. As visual voodooist Chase Jarvis puts it, the best camera is the one that's with you. He even named his photo app after this mantra. A plethora of camera-devoted apps help to edit and tweak your lo-fi shots, making the basic fundamentals of mind, moment and composition the true spirit of iPhone photography (iPhonography?). Cowart's poignant images of life in the Haiti of 2011 conveys just that. And in case you're wondering exactly which apps he used, short of selling his refinement secrets, @jeremycowart writes "
I literally now have 20+ photography iPhone apps. I honestly think I used every one. I would download a new one and start experimenting..." divulging that some of those include 

By the way, Cowart's instructional photography DVD Lifefinder has been receiving quite a bit of love from its viewers. We personally haven't seen it, but judging by his CreativeLive workshop, we can understand this might be comfortably inspirational.
