Digital with an analog feeling

I have tried various camera apps for my iPhone but never came across the right solution. But last night a relative new app stole my heart: Histamatic. It is an app that upgrades your iPhone to a Holga. Every hot is a real piece of art. The app allows you to select from a couple of lenses, choose the negative and the flash. You can even buy different versions from within the app. You then turn to the back of the camera, look through the small viewfinde and shoot. The camera developes the print and "prints" it to a file. That is the first time you can view the result, just like in the analog world. You have to decide pre-shooting, not in post-processing. Of cours it is possible o make the same pictures using Photoshop or alike, but that takes away the whole emotion of not knowing what to expect from the result. And to take that one step further there is the "shake for random components"-option. Histamatic really rocks!
