Stillness and excitement

No time to write much

but I just wanted to share

this photo I took

with my newly purchased 'Shibuya' film

on

my Hipstamatic App

for my iPhone

It makes my room look like an old dutch master.

When in fact

 reality is 

the last crazy stage of 

tidying

before Linda, Gerd, Jo and Marie

arrive from Copenhagen today,

to spend the next week

exploring Beijing

with me.

Can't wait.......

Hope your weekend

is filled with both

stillness and laughter.

Photos from my iPhone

Wanted to share some photos I took this morning and show you what cool apps there are for the iPhone camera. Can you believe I could do this with just one click (and the Hipstamatic app too)?

I mentioned a couple of days ago that I am doing an amazing online course in photo journalling called Unravelling. I am learning so much from everyone there and this app was something that one of the great co-unravellers shared with our group. So if you have an iPhone could be that you need it too - unless you don't like scratchy retro feel photos.

Another really great download is Polardroid which allows you to turn a photo into a cool retro looking polaroid with just a click of the button. Then print it on photo paper and cut it to polaroid size and you have almost the genuine article. Thanks Kendra for the heads up on this.
