Dr. Makwa Speaks

I take a lot of photographs with my iPhone, usually Hipstamatics because they just look better than the standard camera. In order to get decent photos, I have to take a lot of shots, and most of them end up in the bin. I’ll ballpark it at 20 shots: 1 post. I love it when they turn out, and the upshot to having so many photos is that I can follow my footsteps on an almost week-to-week basis for the past four years or so.

The downside, of course, is that I look like a total dork with my phone always held out in front of me walking down the street. I try to hold it more discreetly, and I try to take the pictures as fast as I can (which results in a lot of blurry shots in the Hipsta queue). I wonder if other people have the problem where their friends/family/significant others always roll their eyes at them whenever they go out into the world, surreptitiously reach for the phone, and aim it at yet another cloud or tree.
