iPhone in Afghanistan

I was sent this article by the Guardian about photographers using iPhones to take photographs of marines in Afghanistan. They are using a app called hipstamatic. It's interesting to see the change from Leica to iPhone in the matter of 55 years or so. To have the ability to photograph and sent so fluidly must make a difference to how we see war imagery; not to mention the aesthetic qualities of the images we see.
