I know these fake Lomo apps are the height of hipsterdom right now, but for some reason I can’t stop using them. I’ve been playing with Instagram for a few weeks now (while I’ve been doing more of my photography on film, I’ve needed some sort of immediate outlet) and I really like it. I guess that since cell phone cameras are never going to make a technically good image, it’s nice to take it in another direction and make something very processed (even if it’s cheesy)
