Cyndi Lauper iPhoneography Art

I had a headache all day that finally went away after dinner. I was happy it finally went away so I could play with a new iPhone/iPad app I stumbled upon on Instagram this morning. The app CutOutCreator in the iTunes store is so much fun! The pink swirls and white flower is 'cut out' from my own artwork. I imported a picture of Cyndi Lauper in the ArtRage for iPad app and after I used Toonpaint to make her look more like a stencil. I really like how this digital mixed media piece turned out :-)

Another iphoneography photo

I was exhausted from cutting the grass ( I have a push mower & it was so humid the day I took this pic) .. I barely focused in on the capture. Funny thing is that this is my most liked picture on Instagram. :) I did some fancy footwork with iphone camera apps to achieve this look, I guess it is a winner to date :-)

iPhoneography ..it's addictive.

Another Instagram shot I took. I expected this picture to turn out better than it did... Oh well... Jess & I went to Frisch's Big Boy the other day for lunch. It's right down the street from our house but we've never been there in the entire 5 yrs we've lived in this area.

Filter storm app is so much fun!

I love the app Filterstorm. I like to blur out backgrounds, it makes a photo more artistic and less cluttered by reducing background noise. It works on both the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. You can get it at iTunes by clicking here. Highly recommended!

iPhone app freebie!

I stumbled upon this freebie shared by a photographer on Instagram. The iPhone app Halftone is now free in the iTunes app store. It makes pictures sort of look like comic strips. Above is an example of a picture I filtered in Halftone. There are tons of filter options beside the one above. You can get it here for free in the app store.

Those flowers pictured above are so beautiful in real life. My Grandma has recently been placed in a rest home & I visit her frequently. She is almost blind so I tried to pick the most vibrant colored flowers I could find. She loved them =)

it's so hot! but I love it!

I love how this picture turned out on Instagram. This picture is of a field about 3 blocks down from my home. I actually used quite a few apps on my iPod with some filters to achieve this effect. I can't wait until the iPod 5 comes out. I hope it has at least as good camera as the iPhone currently does so I can print some of these photos.

Today its blazing HOT outside. I want go to the beach so bad! My grandmother was just placed in a nursing home yesterday - so I am going to go visit her instead.

I found a neat freebie

If you have an iPhone or iPod touch and also have kiddies like I do then you know how this device is very useful to keep them busy! I find my iPod is a real lifesaver while waiting in unexpected long lines with Isaiah. There are tons of free games for iPhones & iPods but I'd much rather he read whenever possible. (He gets enough Xbox at home anyhow ;) He also graduates preschool tomorrow. Since he's on the road to kindergarten books are very essential over the summer. Anyways, I recommending downloading "Jack in the Box" - it's really cute, Zay loves it.
