Well said, I had the exact same experience. When our daughter was born I had just gotten the Hipstamatic app (as a referral from you, I think) and I took a ton of photos with it. Some are great because it was around Christmas time and it made some photos seem appropriately "old timey". But I've not used it in a long while. You can always ad a filter later on if you'd like, no need to lock in to one. edit: I can remember being young and seeing photos of my fathers childhood. The black and white and sepia tones were clear indicators of a bygone time. I wonder if these filters are throwing a monkey wrench in to that? Will our grand children one day see the photos of their parents birth and have a false sense of how long ago that was? Fads come and go and I could see this whole "hipster photography" thing fading away.
