20,000 = giveaway

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

Hello again. Another blog post today for a special reason.

Today we hit 20,000 facebook likers. That’s 20,000+ folks who are getting my facebook anecdotes. Photos, ideas, finds, and inspiration for cultivating a good life and recording it.

To celebrate, I’m giving away some of my products. If you “like” me on facebook, leave your first name, city, and state (U.S. only for this giveaway) HERE on this post. Technically I don’t think I’m supposed to do giveaways on facebook (what. ever.) so we’re doing the giveaway here.

fun photography app

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

I mention Camera+ and Instagram often. They’re my two main go-to photography apps these days. I recently shared some of our panoramic photos, where I used AutoStitch. I love exploring other photography apps and would love to hear your recommendations as well. For now I wanted to share another one I’ve enjoyed playing with. It’s called Pocketbooth and it’s like a portable photo booth. So how fun is that?

Here’s a glance at the same pictures taken with the different color/filter options … just to give you an idea.

Can you tell I was playing with this app on an airplane? Nice. I chose the option of just 3 frames per strip, but you can do the traditional 4 as well. And there are other features you can adjust, but I’ll let you discover all that for yourself. The app is really simple and I like that there aren’t too many bells & whistles to adjust.

And really — it’s just fun. As we head into the weekend, I think this could be a 99-cent purchase that goes a long, long way.  Wishing you all a happy weekend, with or without apps.
