The TRUE Size of Africa

As you may have figured out, my name is Matt Griswold. This is where I think aloud, tag the trappings of the interwebs, and rant about all things interesting and ridiculous. You can reach me at mgriswold[at]gmail.com
Seeing this abbreviated circumnavigation makes me want to drop everything, pack my bags and hit the road for another adventure.
Over an impromptu Valentine’s run to Vegas this weekend (to check out Cirque du Soleil’s LOVE), I had the pleasure of toying around with the Hipstamatic for hours upon hours across the California desert. The iPhone app lets you toggle between retro films and lenses, and features a hard-to-resist internal store with which to further equip the iPhone’s otherwise lame camera. The result? A lot of sometimes-in-focus, analog-style fun that kept me entertained along the way… and netted the developer more than a 5-fold increase in incremental revenue as a result of my insatiable appetite for new lenses, films and flashes.
Here’s an awesome gallery of other Hipstamatic devotees on Flickr.
