Anyone else loving instagram?
While I haven't put pedal-related stuff on there yet, I am looking forward to doing so.
The honeymoon's not over yet...
Thoughts...besides time killer app?

i don't fuck with instagram really, but i do use camera360 on my android phone which is pretty ill. however the 'normal' mode doesn't work so i pretty much HAVE to use some kind of effect on my pictures. my phone's native camera app is such total trash...
i keep thinking about how weird it is that stuff like this exists, digital shit that sort of mimics things that were once thought to be undesirable side effects of using film. wonder if in the future people will romanticize jpeg compression and artifacts?

Pictures made to look "vintage" are gross.
Feels bad, like a relic'd guitar.

As a photo student as well, I think smart phone photography itself should probably find it's own merits rather than imitating cheap plastic cameras. On the other hand it is essentially the same idea as a polaroid. Instant gratification and easy to use, great fun. I've been thinking lately it'd be cool to have a program or app where you could use touch screens to fuck with photographs like photographers did with polaroids. Emulate cutting/stabbing negatives, dodging and burning... all the fun stuff you can do in the darkroom on a phone. So like you'd poke at the screen like stabbing a negative with a pen, or draw around to push the emulsion/colors around.
That'd be fucking rad.

That's brilliant. All of that experimentation is what makes film fun.

Why can't there just be an app that takes pictures with better color without all the vignetting and light leaks?

My friend came over and was trying really hard to take a picture of me for it yesterday...thirty minutes of dodging before she tricked me. What's the point? Twitpic?

I want it. It's be like a Korg Kaos pad for digital photography.
