Hipstamatic fun photo Friday is a joyful exploration of the depths in iPhone photography that help me to document The Blissful Adventurer. These images represent my particular vision of the images I see and are intended to alter mood and shift perspective. Hipstamatic is an application for mobile phone cameras that has inspired me since its inception and I hope very much it remains a fixture in the app world.

Nothing embodies and embraces the slow modifications of life in Italy like the Tobacconist. What once was the place to buy coveted salt is now home to recharge cell phones and play the lottery. The shop owners endure and their demeanor rarely changes.

Rome is a place where grunge images are all around. Trash cans, scooters, awnings all play integral parts in the swooning banality varnishing something very alive and volatile.

Right outside the Apple store in downtown Denver. I never gave a rat's about Apple until Hipstamatic.These were better than I remembered and I remembered loving them.

One of San Francisco's best coffee roasters in action.

Gorgeous macerated wine from the Republic of Georgia served in traditional clay bowl (piala). These wines can be enjoyed at the wonderful new Wine Salon Et Al in San Francisco's historic Russian Hill hood.

I long to get back to sticky new sand on my arms, clear water, crabs over rice serenity. Hipstamatic will be with me and I will find guidance and share what I find.
