Another one of those images/visual situations I've been admiring from afar for quite some time now, this imposing hedge cut into a sort of living gateway. But it was really frustrating to shoot -- I seem to be running up against the limitations of the iPhone in terms of having it frame the way I want to frame. Which makes me wonder if it's time to start trying other cameras.
The thing is, I really dig the Hipstamatic. I can certainly run all sorts of toycam effects and filters in Photoshop and get myself to the same place visually speaking, the faux-toy camera "look", even if I begin from a straight digital SLR shot. But going about it that feels too, I dunno, intentional? Cynical? I like that the Hipstamatic does it without my intervention. Cleanses some of the guilt from my disingenuous not-really-using-my-Diana hands...
