A month or so ago, I picked up a much talked about iPhone app called Hipstamatic, which promised all sorts of new “toy camera” effects for my best camera (aka, the one that’s always with me). I loaded it quickly, dinked around for about 15 seconds at most, didn’t see what it did that was any…

In the extremely unlikely event that you’re reading this but haven’t read Jim’s post yet - go do it now!  Then download the Hipstamatic app.  I did both this morning and I’ve already taken 100+ photos that absolutely delight me.

That’s right. Pictures of my commute on a Monday morning that are making me smile.

It is entirely possible that I will subject you to some of these photos later on today. Unfollow at will and all that.

Oh, and one other cool thing about the Hipstamatic app: if you can’t quite decide which lens/film/flash combo you want to use, or if you just want to mess around, shake your phone and let the app come up with a random combination for you.
