An exhibition of photographs taken by ordinary people on their mobile phones... Really? Hang on, it's ok, it's Hipstamatic.
Since its launch just over a year ago, Hipstamatic, the iPhone's hit photo application, has transformed the way many of us take pictures and document our lives. As such, it was only a matter of time before an innovative exhibition came along to showcase the creativity of its users.
Cue HIPSTAMATICS, a showcase of 157 printed images created digitally by iPhone users from around the world. (FYI, 157 was the total number of original analogue Hipstamatic 100 cameras ever made in the early 1980s. More about that fascinating, and tragic, story here).
We think it's a pretty cool concept, not least as a reminder that with better and better resolution on mobile phones these days, there's no reason to limit the pictures you take to online walls! ;)
IDEA: Why not put some of your favourite digital photos on your 'bricks and mortar' walls for a change? Check out these tutorials from Martha Stewart on stylish ways to display them!
The HIPSTAMATIC exhibition runs until 31 January 2011 at the Orange Dot Gallery in London. For more information, and to see a growing online collection of Hipstamatic photos (and to submit your own!), visit the Hipstamatics blog.
