i’m suddenly hip thanks to hipstamatic

.
If you have an iPhone… you needed to purchase Hipstamatic yesterday. Now I’m sure this is old news to so many people out there, especially all of you insanely creative readers (yes you!), but I didn’t take the leap until my iPhone was capable of taking non-grainy photos.
.
Basically, you choose your camera lens, your flash, and your film type, and take photos that remind you of your family’s old dusty albums. The best part, is that when you take the photo, you have to wait 3 seconds for it to develop, and you have no idea how it will turn out. Imagine that… savoring that magical moment of opening your photo envelope and seeing what was inside for better or worse. It’s a feeling I’d forgotten until this app appeared and revived the spirit of photographic mystery again.

The app is $1.99, and you can buy extra “hip packs” for $0.99 each that add to your library of lenses/film/flashes. You can upload the photos directly to your Flickr account or share them on facebook as well! Nice on the pocketbook for such a fun and useful little app!

So who has more fun Hipsta-prints that they want to share?!?
