News reaches us that the crowds can’t keep away from the Hipstamatic exhibition, currently on at the Orange Dot Gallery. All Eyes On Her is a big fan of this exceedingly popular iPhone application which recreates the vintage-esque image of an old hipstamatic analogue camera on a modern camera phone (most of the pics on our website were taken by HG using the very same gadget-ery).
All 157 of the photographs on display at the exhibition were sourced from the “hipstamatics.com” blog. Why 157 I hear you ask? The answer is that 157 was the number of Hipstamatic 100 analogue cameras that were first produced by brothers Bruce and Winston Dorbowski in 1982. Sadly, they died in a road accident later that year and as a result Hipstamatic never became the mass produced product of it’s day. It’s been waiting in the wings for it’s call up and clever old Apple have certainly given it that; if you’ve been stuck under a rock fiddling furiously with your old Nokia avoiding iPhone envy- you won’t be able to maintain resistance in the face of this modern nod to the past !
