Hipstamatic Heaven

I have wanted an iPhone for soooooo long (yes, former technophobe, now-totally-converted gadget wizardress, me).

Most of the reason I wanted that iPhone so badly was because I lusted after ye famous Hipstamatic app*.  I drooled daily over all the artsy photos that online friends produced with it and yearned to do the same.

Well, last week my wonderful husband finally came up trumps and delivered into my hands my very own, seriously beautiful iPhone.  And no sooner was it in my hot little paws than I was downloading the longed-for app.

Now I’m obsessed.  Totally.  I’m taking retro shot after retro shot and you couldn’t prize this little gem from my sweaty mitts for all the Blackberries in the world.  I just love the unpredictability of the results.  I adore the images I can create.

So, if I’m inundating you with collage after collage of rose-tinted (or sepia-tinted or blue-tinted….) pictures at the moment, you’ll forgive me.  There are lots more where these are coming from, believe me.  And ever more to come.

Told you.  I’m obsessed.

* For those not conversant with the world of iPhones and apps, Hipstamatic is a devilishly clever way of accumulating a massive stack of what appear to be old, film-camera images.  Which rock.

P.S. Oh, and these ones above were taken last week - just in case you thought the snow had magically vanished!  (It hasn’t.)

P.P.S.  And today I’m taking part in Mosaic Monday, hosted by Mary at Little Red House.  Why not pop on over and take a look at some of the other lovely mosaics you’ll find links to there?

Hi, Helen! HUGELY enjoying all your photos and strolling through your recent posts! I'm slowing getting to visiting and such though, as I've not been feeling too well in recent days since back from our travels--but getting there. Great to be catching up with you and back in blogland. :o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
