love them!
Aren't they great? I love love love Hipstamatic - photos like they used to be in the 1970s, such a romantic haze to everything, even the most pedestrian objects. I adore that garlic pic.
Gorgeous!
Thanks, Rachel!
Ooh, I see you have the bug too! Gorgeous pics.
Ohh, gorgeous -- especially the top one. Lovely!
This all your fault, Ms Crowley! I love it...
Martha, thank you, it's such a great effect, isn't it?
