The Great Hipstamatic

I never owned my own Hipstamatic, but the iPhone app seems like a pretty good simulacrum, even going so far as to force you to use a tiny little viewfinder to frame your shot. the camera takes a second to warm up (well, at least it pretends to be warming up the transistors), also ‘turning on the flash’ takes a few moments. … And since there is no flash on an iPhone, I’m guessing turning on the flash just adds a bit of randomly controlled coloration to the image. changing lens, film, flash is as easy as a swipe of the finger… My other complaint about the application is that the cost doesn’t include some extras like this film, for instance.

Head In A Vice – Explored

I took this photo of my stairway late Friday night, decided the photo would look better with more stark, defined lines, so converted it to black and white (via Snapseed and then Hipstamatic, I believe, but perhaps only in Hipstamatic). I realize Flickr’s Explore is a computerized algorithm, yet I still am amused when the attention firehose is pointed in my direction
