Do you remember Hipstamatic?

A photo app made to imitate old film cameras, it was a fun throwback take on analog photography, a rising star that went viral right when the iPhone and the App Store were taking over the world.

Hipstamatic was an odd little time machine back to the analog era of film cameras. You selected virtual film and lenses, and got back faded, grainy, vignetted images that looked retro, like old dreamy snapshots from the seventies that had been sitting in a drawer for decades.

And then, right after it was the app of the year, Instagram all but killed it. That brief window of time of Hipstamatic's reign was less than ten years ago, but seems like much longer.

Take a look back at this era of early smartphone photography with Jon Konrath, and explore some of these early throwback virtual analog images from the 2010s.
