Macro photos on the cheap

So here's the start. I've always been captivated by macrophotography, ever since I learned that I could take the 50mm lens off my old Mamia-Sekor, turn it around and focus by hand, so to speak, to get close-up images.
I also love some of the sites I've seen of "real" macro work, especially of insects. I have a digital camera but not the lenses to make it work.
Then I started playing with the iPhone camera, adding a 79-cent hand lens. Sure enough, I can get some pretty good macro images with this setup, and the price certainly is right.
I'll share some of these on this site. Enjoy, and give it a try yourself.
I'm running a stock iPhone 4 (not the 4s) and that 79-cent lens to get the closeups.
Let me know what you think.
