I had forgotten how much I had used the Hipstamatic app on my old iPhone 5 back in 2015.
It's been fun going back through photos.
Happy ~fence friday~
.
Last photo ever from my friend's old apartment. We were in the process of moving her from here to newer digs.
hww!
.
Way back in 2013, the tire tracks in this light dusting of snow caught my eye. The iPhone (5 at the time) was new to me, as was the HIpstamatic app. I shot everything.
Happy Thursday Monochrome

Antennae all about. Probably has high speed internet, eh? Satellite dish. Not quite sure about indoor plumbing but if there's wifi, who cares?
.
Went back even farther in the old photo folders, to when the iPhone and its Hipstamatic app were still new to me. I had a fondness for the filters called the GSQUAD lens and Rock BW-11 film. Together they created gritty, strongly contrasty black and white images.
Thanksgiving dinner had been at our house a couple days before. The napkin holder was on the kitchen counter.
Who could resist?
Happy Donnerstagsmonochrom.

It seems a long time ago that I had shot anything and everything with the Hipstamatic app on the iPhone 5.

Went searching through Lightroom for bench photos, inverted the sorting filter to show oldest images that carry the bench tag, and found this. Ten years ago, almost to the day.
Happy Bench Monday.

At El Rancho de las Golondrinas. We went up for the Herb & Lavender Festival. After months without rain, of course last night and this morning it really came down. But then it cleared, and I had the opportunity to play with the Hipstamatic app on the phone.
And learned that the G2 lens filter is the newer name for the GSQUAD lens from when I had hipstamatic on my iPhone 5.
Golondrinas is a living history museum. There are volunteer docents who can be extremely informative about life at the settlement.

It was nice being out for the morning.

There was a time when fire hydrants would catch my eye. And with a wall like this, there was no way for me to resist.
Albuquerque's Old Town, shot with the iPhone 5's Hipstamatic app, using the GSQUAD lens and the Rock BW-11 film filters.
For Wednesday Walls.

Well, anyhoo, I thought it looked promising when I awakened and saw it. Glad I keep the phone on the bedside table.

The Lightroom app that I use for cataloging lets us add keywords to photos. Those keywords can also be used to search for photos. I had seen online a photo that had reminded me of Albuquerque's Old Town, and so searched that. It was nice to come across photos that I'd forgotten about.
According to wikipedia: "The Spanish villa of Alburquerque[nb 1] was founded in 1706 by Francisco Cuervo y Valdés, who was the governor of New Mexico at the time. Cuervo reported that the new settlement was home to 252 residents and had been laid out with streets, a plaza, and a church in accordance with the town planning regulations set forth in the Laws of the Indies. Cuervo's account had been exaggerated in order to offer a centralized Villa to better serve the already existent Hispano and Pueblo communities. Those communities included Barelas, Corrales, Isleta Pueblo, Los Ranchos, Sandia Pueblo, and others along the Rio Grande rather than a centralized settlement. After a formal investigation, the villa was allowed to keep its title, especially as it was established to serve those communities as an outpost on Camino Real de Tierra Adentro."
It's good to see that we here have had a long history of lying to centralized government in order to get what we need.
I think I'll lie on one of those benches.

benitam22: Thanks @loren_
benitam22: It is a macro CelLens @gendrywilson It is a blue rubber band with a little lens that sits over the phone camera
benitam22: Don't worry @knoxmomi it is hit and miss with me to get a photo with some area in focus with the CelLens. But it is a handy thing to carry with you
gendrywilson: Cool!
flyingpenguinseekingmadaussie: Sweet macro :)
benitam22: Thank you @gendrywilson and @flyingpenguinseekingmadaussie For a rubber band and a little plastic lens, I was most impressed

Window light at a little sushi place in 2013, when the iPhone and the Hipstamatic app were both new to me. Using app options that resulted in strong conttrasts.
Happy Window Wednesday.

My grandmother used to say when we persisted in whining about something, "it's all water under the bridge." "Get over it."

Another from way back when I'd been enamored with the Hipstamatic GSQUAD lens and Rock BW-11 film.
Friends had come into town so we made our pilgrimage to the Kokopelli Quilting Company. While the wives were busy looking over fabrics, my friend Howard and I gabbed and I shot the various quilting machines and sewing machines.
