Have you guys discovered the "Hipstamatic" app for the iphone camera? Its so cool. It takes retro looking pictures like from an old instamatic camera. You can pick your film, aging amount, flash color, lens filters, etc. I am no photographer but for a phone camera, this is pretty cool. This is a photo I took at a kiddy amusement park. I used to work at this park when I was young. I used to run this little roller coaster. It's still there all rusted tracks and everything. lol That is my wife waving goodbye on her way up the death trap. lol ( I took insurance out on her first)


Here is another of my daughter in her Kayak.





and another of my son with his catch.

Two things.

1. You should figure out how to achieve this effect in Photoshop and write a tut on it.
2. You were young once?

I totally agree!!

what's an iphone?



seriously

guess what is in my hallway shelf... my old instamatic camera, in the original hinged kodak box, with the instruction booklet and the cube flash bulb. snagged it from my old stuff that was still in storage at my mom's house. Must have gotten it when I was in grade school. Probably still has film in it.


ADD: I did a Baby Boomer tab in April 2008. I did a series on how to make your ads look retro. I have a pdf around if any one is interested in the look, color, texture, fonts of the eras... let me know i'll find it
