Modern Retro #1

I recently downloaded the the Hipstamatic app for iPhone and I like it so much I have decided to make a new feature here on the automatic filmmaker: Modern Retro.

Modern Retro will feature photos taken using Hipstamatic and will normally be posted while I'm on the go.

A few words about the Hisptamatic. What makes this app interesting is that it simulate the workflow of a film camera. You have to choose how your image will look before you take the picture by choosing a "lens", "film" and "flash"(all simulations of the real thing). After you take the picture you must wait for the app to "develop" and "print". Which forces you to slow down between shots. I really like the idea of an app that puts the thought back in to individual pictures.
