These photos were not taken with a vintage Polaroid camera. Neither were they taken with an iPhone armed with faux-aged filters ala Instagram and Hipstamatic. These were taken with a digital SLR, dragged into Photoshop, altered by one-click Photoshop actions (made by someone else) to mimic faux vintage prints. I call this faux-faux-vintage art! And I believe this officially makes me ‘ultra hipster.’ Lol. This post, part one of an examination of the Instagram/Hipstamatic explosion, may double as The Boulevard Brewery Tour. VIEW PHOTOS
Megan and I visited Europe for the first time in June. We traveled around Rome and Florence, and spent a couple of days in London. While on the trip we refrained from trying to photograph everything and anything. Instead we tried our best to fully attend to the experience. That said, we do have a few photos to share. VIEW PHOTOS
