If world-famous photos were taken with iPhones
With the proliferation of smartphones, nearly everyone these days is a de facto photographer, ready to take a snapshot at a moment's notice. Indeed, one of Apple's best commercials in recent memory highlights the popularity of the iPhone as a means to take and share photos with friends and loved ones.
The "everyone is a photographer" age is relatively new, but what if that weren't the case? Tackling this hypothetical, the nuttycombe tumblr blog put up some photos depicting a really cool concept -- what would historic photos look like if they were taken by iPhones?

It's actually a fun game to play, sprucing up old and historic photos with modern-day photo effects.
