Do You Hipstamatic? Why Yes, I Do!

Anyone here use Hipstamatic? I do.

Hipstamatic is an app for the iPhone that turns your fancy schmancy (yes, that's a technical term) smartphone camera into a hip 1980's plastic point and shoot camera. The square format prints, the funky colours and the "interchangeable" lenses, film and flash all add to this cute little app.

Possible Themes for Project 52

Well, I've been doing some thinking (can you smell the smoke?) I've come up with a few ideas I'd like to explore throughout my Project 52. I figure I'll come up with 26 theme weeks and 26 "dealers choice" weeks.

What I've come up with so far:

The Best Photo I've Ever Taken


Back in 2009, my wife was in Halifax for a business conference. I happened to be off that week so she suggested that I fly out and meet her once the conference was over. I’d never been to Halifax so I jumped at the chance. It was November, a relatively mild one for the east coast. I remember getting off the plane and having to take my jacket off because it was so warm! I’d only had my camera for a few months so I was looking forward to taking it out and getting some decent photos (I was looking forward to seeing my wife too, but seeing as we’re talking photography, I can just assume you all know that already). We had 3 days to wander around and act like a couple of tourists.

Project 52

I have an idea.

It's not an original idea by any stretch of the imagination. Lately I've been cruising the web looking for ideas to inspire me with my photography. I'm an amateur at best but I want to improve. I've noticed one project trend that I personally think is kinda cool; Project 365. What's a Project 365 you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you...

And so it begins…


I guess it was inevitable. I’m a techno geek so at some point in time, I was gonna start a blog. I guess today’s the day…
