Notes:\u00a0 Camera companies should realize that the megapixel race and feature creep isn’t what some of us really want for all devices.\u00a0 We want the ability to mimic what\u00a0was, and still are, some expensive captures of random moments in life.\u00a0 And we also want it for free!\u00a0 That’s where the Instagram application comes in.\u00a0 The iPhone (and its pocket brethren) aren’t so much cameras as they are miniature computers that have imaging devices.\u00a0 Normally I’m not a big fan of shoot and post right away, which is the\u00a0main problem of all the photo sharing sites out there, but man is it ever cool to mimic Polaroid and the\u00a0lo-fi Lomo look with a click and send it on its way. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I like how it brings so many more people into the fold, ones that can understand the\u00a0lo-fi\/hi-fi art mentality of some visual things.\u00a0 Art and images that are so bad, they\u00a0become good.\u00a0 Maybe it will make\u00a0the mainstream\u00a0start to wonder why images such as the ones Instagram can create,\u00a0stirs emotions in us, or forces us to look longer at an image, rather than just glance by the modern stuff.\u00a0 One final thought, as with everything that the cool kids (cough, cough, us artists…) are in to, it’s only a matter of time before things are too saturated…or perhaps things already are.\u00a0 All I know is, this is still a golden age in photography.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Above:\u00a0 Yes, I drove to this spot, knowing I wanted to use it for an Instagram. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 The iPhone’s flower petal flaring is already a flaw-turned-signature.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Below:\u00a0 Then I thought about what the one click filters would do to some of my drawings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I still have this pack of Polaroid film.\u00a0 Guess I’m waiting\u00a0til the end of the world to use it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Above is an older photo shot with a “real” camera, and I just pulled it into the program to add the lo-fi goodness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
