i’ve been completely obsessed with the various apps available for making iPhone photos look all retro and psychedelic. my favorites are Hipstamatic , Lo-Mob , and Tilt-Shift-Gen .
phone exhibit poster
these are pictures i took to exhibit at a “phone-tography” show for Geek Week at Langdon Street Cafe in Montpelier, Vermont.
i also made a 12:1 scale iPhone out of foam core and paper, and used the prints i made as the apps.
