Anybody familiar with the Hipstamatic App on camera phones. That was the whole reason I got an ipod way back when. My employer at the time wouldn’t pay for an iphone so I used their flip phone and bought an ipod for my photographic adventures. That was also back in the day when I loved inexpensive plastic film cameras and all the special effects that you do with them. Hipstamatic was an iphone/ipod app that simulated making crappy photos with interesting effects. I ended up with a ton of different filters for it. I’ve drifted away from the app but I noticed that they had new filters where they are trying to incorporate the look of Frida Kahlo into the results. So hey I went and got the filter.

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist who had her own style of painting. Check out her Wikipedia Page.

I went outside and took a few pics. A few of them even had shadows in them.

So I don’t know if this how Kahlo would paint my backyard. I think she used a lot more vivid colors.

But I enjoy checking out new things.
