I’ve been addicted to Hipstamatic (iphone app) for a LONG time now.  Just recently they came out with Hipstaprints!  You can now order prints in two sizes (4″ or 7″) right through the app.  I just got my prints back the other day and they are fantastic.  They look EXACTLY like they do on my phone.

Here’s some of them hanging on the wall in my office (this is just an iphone photo, and a little tilted, lol):

And a few recent images I’ve taken…I just love this app! <3

I researched it, I asked people about it, and it seemed my best bet was to take the point and shoot to Europe and leave the big gear behind.  Most things I read or people mentioned was about theft, and that was the LAST thing I wanted to happen.  I was worried I’d miss the DSLR, that I’d wish I had a wider lens or a longer lens….but you know what?  It was RELAXING to just be able to whip out that little powershot SD1200is and snap photos.  It was definitely a change of pace to take a photo and not worry about fstops or shutter speeds, to literally just point and shoot.  And it was also nice to be able to just put it in my little pacsafe bag, and not have to carry around this HUGE bag with a heavy DSLR in it

I was inspired by this post today….about fur kids.  We had to put our male Great Dane to sleep over a month ago and I miss him dearly.  We still have Duchess, and she is getting really spoiled rotten  She gets extra kisses, extra hugs, extra treats, and just extra loving in general since she’s now an only dog.  We don’t have plans to bring in another dog right now…I think we’re good with just her.  And I think SHE’S happy to be the only dog as well.

As of right now she’s under the computer desk, with her head in my lap because we’ve got one of our typical late afternoon Florida thunderstorms going on outside and she HATES thunder.  She’s gotten to where if it starts to rain, she gets worried because she knows the thunder isn’t far behind.
