Hipstamaniac

I have a new obsession. My Hipstamatic Camera App on my iPhone.

"What" you ask "Is a Hipstamatic?"

Ah, my poor unhip friends, let me share it's utter and complete coolness with you.

The Hipstamatic App gives you a digital camera that recreates the analog look, feel and beauty of those old plastic cameras of my childhood - right in my beloved iPhone. Behold...

My friend Laura posted some of her Hipsta shots on Facebook, and now I've gone Hipsta crazy!

You can buy the App for $1.99, and then you can add more options for additional moolah. The app comes with 3 "lenses" that you can change with a swipe of your finger -

The John S...

The Jimmy...

and the Kaimal Mark II...

 

and then you have the option of adding more lenses -

The Helga Viking...

The Lucifer VI...

and the Roboto Glitter...

Each lens giving you a distinctly different, but equally groovy vibe.

You can also swap out the type of "film" you use and the type of "flash". I will spare you the many sample photos of my squirmy model.

I can't stop Hipstaing! These are from our cousin gathering in San Diego on Saturday...

 Of course, it doesn't hurt that the cousins are all dressed like retro hipsters. And yes, that is Jimmy in the background of the first shot, sipping his wine and looking like he just stepped out of a Fellini film.

For those of you without the joys of iPhone, I'm sincerely sorry for torturing you.

For those of you WITH the joys of iPhone - cough up the $1.99 and head to the app store!

No matter what app you use, it STILL looks like everyone stepped off the pages of a magazine! Only in CA?

[Allison]

Cool! I had no idea that this App existed. I'm adding it to my list, of must purchase Apps.

[Fiddedeedee]

Sold. You had me at obsession.

[Amy]

Oh man, that is SO cool! I think it would make me a hipper person just having that, don't you? I am hoping to get the new iPhone so we'll see.

Do you rent out your family members? Everyone is so attractive! And Jimmy looks just like I imagined him. Just...cool! (See? If I were hipper, I could come up with a better description.
