CameraBag for Mac

Did I mention I got promoted last month? Well I got a little bit of a raise today. I am celebrating by buying two things. Later I am going to buy The Walking Dead Compendium One which is 48 graphic novels in one 1000 page or so book.

First though, I bought CameraBag 2.5 for Mac. CameraBag for iPhone was the first camera app I put onto my first iPhone. It was a cool filter app before Instagram came along. It turned out to not be quite as cool as Hipstamatic, but there were no in-app purchases. I found out today that there is a Mac version. I read some reviews this morning before work and tonight I installed it (it was on sale).

So I am monkeying around with some of the presets. Allow me to bombard you with stuff. Because… ya know… I can.

I started with a pic of the Nubble Lighthouse. Here is the original, as shared on Flickr:

The first filter I tried is called 1967:

The next filter was one of my favorites from the iPhone version. Lolo. This picture probably isn’t a good choice for the filter, but I had to do it.

Next is another fav from the iPhone app, Helga:

Finally we have a black and white filter called 1962:

This is the first post you’re going to get showing off this application. It won’t be the last. It might be the first of 20-30 billion posts, all tonight. Enjoy.

My 2012 in Pictures – Part Deux

Yeah, I did a my-year-in-pictures thing the other day. It was fun. What the hell, thought I, why not do it again? This time I’ll run fast and loose with the whole one-pic-from-each-month thing. I’m crazy like that.

We have to get our pics of the Sands Bridge in Methuen before she collapses. Or maybe I should say before she finishes collapsing. It’s already started. Also, I don’t think I found a relative in the Grove Street Cemetery, but who knows?

In February I finally finished an RPM Challenge on time. It only took me five tries. We also got a new bed. Jen’s penguin approved.

In March, the kids and I became wilderness explorers. Hipstamatic came along for the ride. Actually, we just wandered around in the woods behind our house for a little while. It was fun.

April in San Diego. I want to go back RIGHT NOW!

May gave us baseball, Bar Harbor, and my first up close New England Lighthouse.

The picture pickin’s are slim in June, but we did get a new Rush album (and it is awesome) and we got another fantastic piano recital from the kids.

July offers more choices after a spontaneous trip to Boston, and a week long stay in Maine that included some time in the mountains of New Hampshire.

In August we went to the Top of the Hub for the first time in my life. The views of my city were spectacular. We also spent some twilight time on Hampton Beach.
