This Hipstamatic Life

30 April 2010 by kristarella

When I first saw the Hipstamatic app in the top downloads in the iTunes App Store I thought, “Great… another photography app.” Then a friend showed it to me and I was a little more convinced, then I bought it and I love it!

I love being able to catch moments without worrying if the shot is just right or if there’s distractions in the scene because so often Hipstamatic shots come out looking interesting where a regular photograph may be a bit boring. Or you can catch little details here and there and change the way you look at the world. It’s like stopping to smell look at the roses.

    I hadn’t heard of the Hipstamatic app until I read this page and I love the effect it has on photos. You took some amazing shots with it!

    As someone who’s just recently started blogging (well…3 days can’t even be classed as recently to be honest) I’d just like to say that you have a great blog, and I hope mine will be as interesting in the future.

    Kristarella,

    I bought this app because I simply love the way your pics looked here (and after reading everything I could about the app). After playing with it all weekend, I consider this a good buy. Very interesting! Thanks for the recommendation!

I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
