About a year and half ago I got an iPhone. I had really wanted one, not for the phone, not for the internet, not for checking my emails and Facebook, but for making pictures with it and primarily making pictures using the Hipstamatic app. I use the Hipstamatic camera everyday and with its broad selections of looks I am amazed almost everyday with what can be done with this little camera. I've been posting pictures to Instagram now for several months and have over 2000 posted--not all winners mind you, but ones i thought worthy of sharing the day i took them. I also use this camera for client work, i don't have the guts to use it exclusively, but i do interrupt my shooting with my dslr to make a few hipstamatic shots of my clients. Some have even ordered this images. I even blew one up to a 16x20. The old saying is that the best camera is the one in your hand--this is true! i feel having my phone on me at all times allows me to take note of everything if i choose. And I really enjoy the act of making these images and then scrolling through them later to share with others. Instagram allows my pictures to be seen all over the world by incredibly talented people! I love exploring the creative process more and more each day and i really think making pictures with this device has helped me improve my skills with the dslr as well. I haven't really ventured back into film yet, but maybe that will happen too someday?? Photographs by Richard Sayer
