My favorite photos are portraits and my favorite portraits are now on hipstamatic. <sigh> Shall I show more?

I’m on the verge of getting the new iPhone 4S. Has anyone else acquired it yet?

A great day to take a nap.

There’s seems to be a debate raging about hipstamatic and the use of hi-tech gadgets such as the iPhone to produce lo-mo, retro, grainy, smudgy results. All I have to say to the naysayers is this: It’s all good. At this rate, I may never go back to my Nikon DSLR – that’s how much I’m enjoying the instant poignancy of the photos I get from hipstamatic.

Case in point: Today’s yard sale.

All it took was seeing Jen in her newly acquired house dress to conjure the 1960s and I was off and snapping away. What better than ti use Ina’s 1969, one of the “films” that comes with hipstamatic – probably the most popular one.

Needless to say I didn’t make much at the yard sale, and sunk my earnings back into vintage cds (did I just say that? Are cds passé already?) but enjoyed laying on the grass playing scrabble.

I was in Point Richmond the other day, saturday, on my way to Marin, and I felt as if I had discovered the banana belt. Or some forgotten kingdom. It was beautiful, sunny and warm. People were friendly and said hello, inviting me in for drinks. Like I said, the land that time forgot. You also get a shot of my new perm here.

Today it’s raining.

Yesterday I attended the wedding nuptials of Tommy and Michaela aka Mr. and Mrs. Loveless in the beautiful (but chilly) Napa Valley. That’s my brother and family in the background. I want to wish the two newlyweds a long and happy life together. Congratulations!

I can’t believe I let more than a week go by since my last blog post. That’s never happened before. Things are changing. Things always change don’t they. Check your pulse.
