Instagram: iPhone app

I am in love with Polaroid and Lomography pictures. The plastic lens in a Holga or Fish Eye create the 'wow' factor in photography and Polaroid cameras are so portable and 'instant' -something we take for granted today.

While we can immediately tweet, Flickr and Facebook photos we've taken on our phones, can we still share our photography in a magic and unique way as those first Polaroid pictures must have felt?

I recently installed Instagram onto my iPhone. I can take a photo (as seen below) and choose any effect to create the same feeling a Polaroid or Lomography camera produces. Although Instagram can't substitute the magic of a Polaroid, I can breathe a new life into my photos in an instant.

This has sparked my interest in photography. I plan to play around with this app before buying my own Polaroid or Holga.

I look forward to sharing more magic with you!

Ciao,
