Instagraming Providence…

Not long ago Mr O and I and my iphone spent a lovely spring evening in Providence.  I might feel intimidated walking around with my big camera but not so with the little iphone…and I am still addicted to Instagram.
We saw bunny clouds…

pencils…

and stencils.

There were moules frites for dinner…

and there was plenty of time for a walk around town before the show started…








and then on to laugh at the stories of David Sedaris.

Obsession…

“The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.”

 Henry Moore (English Sculptor, 1898-1986)

So what is my latest obsession?  It is the Instagram app on my iPhone

This is surprising in part because I don’t Twitter, rarely use Facebook, and I am a very infrequent Flickr participant.  In spite of this, since I joined the IG photo sharing community I have spent more time taking and processing photos and checking the site feed on my iphone than I have with my camera and computer it seems.  It is a fun, creative community and I am constantly impressed with and inspired by the photos I see there.  Comments are shared and there are many different languages seen…The photos can take you around the world in one sitting.  Breakfast in Germany or Cyprus in one photo and dinner in California at the next.  I just find it fascinating. 

 
 
There are a lot of photos of food and restaurants…

  

breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and drinks…

 
 
cats, dogs, bugs, butterflies…

 
 
flowers and leaves…

 
 
children and grandchildren…

 
husband and self…

 
places near and far…

 
 
shots using fun apps….

 
 
…and lots of feet “from where I stand”!  

All the photos above are taken by me on my iphone..

A New Toy...

Mr O and I just bought  iPhones and you would think we were two kids the day after Christmas...I have been playing with camera functions of course...These photos were taken with the ShakeItPhoto app which processes your photos to look like an old time Polaroid print...it even sounds like a Polaroid camera as it "develops the film"...and yes you can shake your phone to speed the developing...

Oh I've been having fun!
