I cooked my lunch on the grill in the back yard today. It’s cold inside the house and roasting hot outside. In between hamburger flips I took a few random pics with the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone. As I did so I posed the question to the universe: If I do start using Hipstamatic regularly again, will I be the only person on Earth doing so?
I posed the question to the 900,000 folks on BlueSky Social and no one responded. I went to Flickr and searched for images tagged “hipstmatic” and sorted the results by date taken. There seem to be a few people there still using it. I checked a couple of Hipstamatic groups as well and they are still getting updates with recently taken images. Based on that I would not say I will be the only user left on Earth. I will say that I am one of the only users left. That’s okay with me.
As usual, I used the shake to shuffle function to randomly assign film/lens combinations.
Someday I am going to buy a medium format film camera. Consider this as me practicing for using a square format option. You’re welcome.





I’m not sure it really matters if anyone else uses hipstimatic or not, so long as you enjoy it! 😉

Some interesting photos. I remember getting photos printed like that on film. 2nd hand film cameras pretty cheap in Aussie land. How bout where you are?

I inherited a film camera from my father a little more than a year ago, and bought a second hand camera a short time later. If it weren’t so expensive I would be shooting film all the time. I am a little obsessed with it.
