The saying goes that “the best camera is the one you have with you”, which these days is often my phone. I can’t resist a photo app and have quite a few that I use regularly, including Hipstamatic, Image Blender, Snapseed, and Fragment. I particularly enjoy taking a photo and applying several apps in succession to produce an image that rearranges reality into something new.
I’ve recently taken to adding in a layer of erasure/blackout poetry, with the text created in an online tool I made which you can try out here.
You can see more of my app-induced photos on Instagram.
