When Alon Goldsmith points his Apple iPhone, surreal things happen. The South Africa native, who lives in Los Angeles and works in advertising, uses the iPhone camera like an artist might wield a brush; that is, if that brush came with apps for blurring, antiquing, blending, grizzling and otherwise fancying up the image at hand. For years, I've been tracking Goldsmith's painterly photographs on Facebook and Instagram (where he posts under the name Babujani) and marvel at his unique take on iPhoneography.
