Notes on the photos:
Car Reflection - the white stuff in the photo is pollen from a nearby Scotch Pine tree.
Self Portrait - the easiest way to do a self portrait with an iPhone is to do the photo in front of a mirror. The screen of the iPhone faces the mirror, so you can compose the photo in the mirror.
Helicopter - I had an early morning appointment at a hospital clinic, and as I was leaving a Life Flight helicopter was in the process of landing on the roof of the hospital.
A Friend, With Dramatic Background - here I'm playing around with a couple of iPhone applications. I used Photogene to tint the photo of my friend, and Justapose to place his image on top of the background photo.
Old Floor - taken at the Powell's Bookstore in the Hawthorne district in Portland, Oregon.
Sushi - taken in a large store that also has a sushi restaurant.
Nice Day Outside - taken from the 11th floor conference room of an office building in northeast Portland. I had a job interview that day. I didn't get the job, but at least I got a photo with waiting for the interviewers to show up.
Basketball Hoop - taken at a park in Northwest Portland.
Office Depot - taken just after sunset.

Basketball Hoop speaks the loudest - the light and shadow looks like something cosmic. The nebulous treeline, with the well defined hoop seemingly 'jumping' into the unknown. Loved it, man - thanks for the post!

As for getting on the cover, I have no idea who makes those kinds of decisions or whether there's any cachet attached to such a thing. It IS how I discovered OS, however....
