Ordering photo prints from your iPhone.

Taken with Camera+ and edited in Lo-Mob.

I recently discovered PostalPix, an app that lets you order prints directly from your phone and are usually shipped to your mailbox within a week, and prices fairly decent compared to developing analog film. Here are how some of mine turned out:

Personally, I think the best feature of this app is that you can actually get 4×4 prints, and for you fellow Instagram lovers, this is perfect! It’s tricky to find 4×4 frames in stores, but Etsy has a great catalog of homemade frames, and Apartment Therapy and A Beautiful Mess offer some inspiration for cute ways you can display yours at home.

Walgreens also offers a simple app that lets you upload photos from your phone to their website and you can usually pick them up from a local store within an hour! Tip: If you are ordering prints you’d like to frame, go back into your photo roll and crop them into a standard 4×6 format and save before you upload (you can always go revert to the original). Otherwise, Walgreens will print them out as “True Digital”, which is actually 4×5.3 and won’t fit into a standard photo frame. The nice thing about true digital prints, however, is that they come out in matte format, instead of gloss. Enjoy!

Here are some photos I took of the West Virginia University campus this week, using Cross Process.

Quad Camera

One of my favorite iPhone apps is Quad Camera and it’s HIGHLY underrated. It allows you to take 4 to 8 shots and smooshes them into one photo. As long as there is enough light, they always come out stunning! Here are some that I’ve taken over the past couple of years.

Road trip photo diary


Thomas, WV @Mountain State Brewery using Instagram

I took a road trip around West Virginia this weekend and had plenty of things to photograph. The weather was dreary, but I still managed to get some pretty great shots. Cross Process has been my favorite editing tool lately, so I’ll show you some of the photos I took using the tool.
