(Left): Will Cheney @ Flickr; (Right) Weglet @ Flickr I'm not one to go app sh*t when it comes to my iPhone, but I must confess, I'm suffering from full-fledged Hipstamatic mania. This new lomo-licious camera app trumps any real-life vintage toy lens it may be trying to emulate: the Hipstamatic's digital "analog" prints can be uploaded instantly to FaceBook or Flickr—you know, to boost your artsy cred in the eyes of others. The $1.99 basic package includes three color-tinted lenses, three film-border options and one whimsical Dreampop flash. Other fancier special-effects bundles are available for 99 cents each. What would it mean, then, to drop $6 on the whole shebang? According to our friends at Photojojo (who, incidentally, have written the Ultimate Hipstamatic Guide, the Original Hipsta bible), your modest investment yields hundreds and hundreds of different photo effects. Translation: If you're seeking a creative hobby, the Hipstamtic should keep you sufficiently occupied. Once you tap that magic "install" button, you might as well hang a "do not disturb" sign around your neck 'cause you are otherwise engaged. Yep, that's right. Good-bye Boredom. Hello, Imagination. And, oh, hi there, Artistry, nice to meet you. Didn't see you hiding behind Fun. Join the mod movement and bond with other O.H.'s by uploading your HipstaPrints here.
