New Video: One Infinite Loophole II
Just finished the sequel to my short film / video posted a couple of weeks ago: One Infinite Loophole. This is called One Infinite Loophole II.
Check it out!
Nothing like a good, independent short film to make your day.
Also there is nothing else out there like Captain Hazel Murphy that would make you want to jump off a 50 story building because he’s that cute.
(well…maybe not a 50 story building. Possibly a 35 story building instead. That seems more realistic.) heh.

To say that I am pleased with this app would be an understatement. I have not stopped using the app since I downloaded it the blasted thing the other day. I have used many, many good and decent photo apps for the iPhone, but this one is quite extraordinary. Let me give you an idea of how awesome it is and maybe you’ll heed my advice to purchase this gem.
1. K.I.S.S. – No not the glam-rock band, but the clever decision by Mr. Campbell to Keep It Simple Stupid. As soon as you activate the app, it does one thing and one thing only…just like a polaroid. You point-click-shoot-and wait.
2. Appreciation – In this age of INSTANT, INSTANT gratification…Polaroids seem to take TOO long for some, but for Generation X and older…we can appreciate those short moments in between photos. On a psychological level…this is app does just that: it will help you reconnect with your subjects that you are taking photos of. It doesn’t matter whether that subject is a human, a feline, a canine, an object or whatever. The important thing is that it allows the photographer to engage with his/her subject with that moment in time to anticipate and spark that thought of what it might look like.
3. Quality – It astounds me how incredibly “Polaroid-esque” the photos truly look and feel. It even makes the same noise as a Polaroid camera. If you have ever had the pleasure of seeing or holding a REAL Polaroid. I think I just dated myself on that one…lol (Kodak has since unfortunately ended production…The Last Polaroid Shipment sniff, sniff), but the colors, exposure, contrast, everything seems so dead-on. Mr. Campbell definitely did his homework before releasing this app. Kudos to you Mr. Campbell! Can’t wait to see what is the next camera type you’ll master for the iPhone.
Examples:
Murphy Close-Up 
Sky/Screen Abstract 
Sand/Sheet Abstract 
Uninvited Guest in the Spotlight
The Breakdown:
The Pros: Incredibly vivid photos that parallel Polaroid’s history and uniqueness, ease of use, awesome way to start a conversation at a party. 
The Cons: The only 2 things I would want to see changed is possibly more border shapes (ie – Landscape, circle, triangle, etc… (although it might take away from the authenticity of it all, but just a thought.) and resolution choices.
The Close: I strongly suggest you download this app immediately and start enjoying photos again. It’s only $0.99. How can you go wrong. I mean really. This app is worth it and then some.
