Win an iPhone 4 with Hipstamatic… http://bifsniff.com/photography/win-an-iphone-4-with-hipstamatic http://bifsniff.com/photography/win-an-iphone-4-with-hipstamatic#comments Sun, 20 Jun 2010 14:12:39 +0000 Frank http://bifsniff.com/?p=2274 Guitar In A Summer Garden (Hipstamatic Contest Entry)

If you have an iPhone you may have come across the Hipstamatic iPhone app – it’s a camera app that turns the phone’s camera into a vintage camera with different lenses that achieve different vintage looks.

Hipstamatic run regular competitions and at the moment they are running one and the prize is an iPhone 4.

The competition is called “The Look” and they are looking for shots to create a book of Hipstamatic portraits of the best poses. To enter, you upload a Hipstamtic “print” via your Hipstamatic app and you have 5 days to accumulate votes through FaceBook and Twitter. The overall winner gets the iPhone and the top 100 get the chance to be in the book of portraits

My entry is currently in the top 50 – I would hugely, massively, appreciate your vote for my entry (pictured above) by clicking like here:

Thank you so much!

Lost Dog in Bray – answers to Mac http://bifsniff.com/current-affairs/lost-dog-in-bray-answers-to-mac http://bifsniff.com/current-affairs/lost-dog-in-bray-answers-to-mac#comments Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:05:54 +0000 Frank http://bifsniff.com/?p=2257 Lost Dog BraySomeone stole Mac, a family dog (2 year old Jack Russell terrier), from his home and from his family in Bray who miss him a lot.

Anyone who is a dog lover knows just how big a part of the family a dog becomes, so please help to get Mac back to his family.

It’s a really rotten thing to do, steal a family dog, I wonder if the people who did this have any idea of the grief they cause.

If you can help in any way, please get in touch with Emmet through the Lost Dog In Bray website – there are lots more images of Mac there too to help you recognise him.

There is a cash reward for his return, so even if you had something to do with his kidnapping maybe you would consider returning him?

From the Day of the Dead to Holy Week. http://bifsniff.com/photography/from-the-day-of-the-dead-to-holy-week http://bifsniff.com/photography/from-the-day-of-the-dead-to-holy-week#comments Sat, 24 Apr 2010 15:42:31 +0000 Frank http://bifsniff.com/?p=2246 Brian Barry Pinhole Photography

Desde El Dia de los Muertos hasta Semana Santa

New exhibition of pinhole photo etchings by Brian Bary from Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.
Opens May 1st, 6pm and continues until May 13th
Basement Project Space – Camden Place, Camden Quay, Cork.

All Pinhole Photos are hand printed from copper plates using a Photo Intaglio Etching process and are all of a limited edition.

Mexico’s Copper Canyon, the childhood towns of ‘Pedro Paramo’ author Juan Rulfo, a town destroyed by a volcano and an eruption in Guatemala all provided inspiration for this collection.

I own one of the prints from the last Mexican inspired exhibition Brian held, I’ll be there at the opening on Saturday night (1st May), so hopefully see you there.

These guys have been all over Twitter with their covers of Beyonce’s Single Ladies and Lady GaGa’s Telephone, but this one I think is their own and it’s even better than the covers.

Check out more of their music on MySpace.
