All I’m going to say is that I love Camera Bag. It’s an iPhone app that adds brilliant filters to the photos that come out of the shitty camera.
I know there’s something a bit overused and cheesy about Polaroid effects. But there’s something a bit nice about them too. I think the fact that it automatically creates a decent amount of white space around the image is not to be sniffed at.
To show the power of Camera Bag I’ve not touched them in iPhoto or Photoshop or anything. These are straight from the iPhone. It’s my favourite thing right now.
The mattress shot is classic, cheese or not, could help myself but download it. You need something like that to make shots like these http://www.flickr.com/photos/hobart65/3390117196/ dislocated in time.
It could just be nostalgia, but there is something about polariod frames that speak to me. And anything that creates that kind of emotional resonance can’t be a bad thing.
