I dig the convergence of technology and time here in one brief second, now extended to the world and infinity. Here’s a snapshot of one of our modern photographic ancestors I modified with the amazing ToonPaint iPhone app, after shooting with Hipstamtic (a modern-retro simulator, no less). I found the camera at a sweet vintage shop called “Ideas” on Burke Street, Winston-Salem, NC. Original here.

Ooh, I like the photo. The stark blurring highlights the features nicely.
Camera+ on the iPhone tends to do it for me these days.
I was given an Instamatic for Christmas the year they came out (and I’ve still got it).. Best present I ever had. The ability to take good quality photos in black and white AND colour and the built in flash really were revolutionary – a superb piece of design. That camera was the beginning of a lifetime love affair with photography.
