In a few weeks I'll be succumbing to the social borg that is all things Apple (shout out to my work and personal Mac computers...love ya!) by making the switch from BlackBerry to iPhone. I've loved using my BlackBerry, but as my BBM buddies slowly migrate to other phones themselves, I really find myself wondering how much more useful the device is than some other options. And then I discovered the Hipstamtic iPhone App and it's pretty much been downhill for the Blackberry since then. I literally find myself walking through the city and thinking "Ugh, man, that would make such a cool Hipstaprint!" as I look at the sights, people, hustle bustle. As soon as I get my iPhone this app will be downloaded...get ready for many a post about life through Hipstamatic eyes :) Urban hiking in San Francisco is probably most like real hiking than any other major US city...damn we've got some intense hills! The girls and I took advantage of the holiday yesterday to be tourists in our own back yard; exploring some token SF landmarks while workin our booties up and down the many steeply inclined streets. Holy Hannah Montana do I feel the burn today. Literally. My butt is pretty sore. I snagged Jenny's iPhone from her for the day to chronicle our adventures in a vintagey way. Let the Urban Hike begin!  Some views of the Bay and Alcatraz from our hike...  Cool painting on a random building...they looked so cute and real!  Coit Tower when it was still a bit overcast..  Bay Bridge from inside the tower...  Golden Gate off in the distance...  My darling girl taking in the downtown views...  Me and my SF sisters inside the tower. Side note; The hoodie I'm wearing was a recent splurge of mine (I'm genuinely embarrassed to admit how much I paid for this sweatshirt) but it's officially my most favorite article of clothing. It's the softest fabric I've ever felt on a hoodie and though it doesn't really look it in this picture it's fitted perfectly to be just slightly feminine while remaining super comfortable.  Coit Tower upon exiting into the sunshine....  After exploring Coit Tower we trekked down to Fisherman's Wharf (a ridiculously over rated tourist spot that secretly I don't mind very much) to play a few vintage arcade games...here I am having my palm read...  And of course indulge in some clam chowder in a bread bowl from Boudin's...  I love being a tourist in my own city! Next up is a whale watching adventure with Andrea (thank you, Groupon!) and I think we're gonna check out a night-time tour of good ol' Alcatraz...spooky!
In Gratitude, Trish

photoshop me in? thanks! I love my Hipstamatic app! As much as I try to remember my digital camera when I'm out an about, I'm not great at the follow-through. Hipstamatic to the rescue...since I got it, I have been so much better at documenting my life, and all the fun little things I come across. And when you do convert...the Williamsburg and Shibuya HipstaPak additions are so worth it! Happy snapping!
Be smart! Don't buy an iPhone now! If you do, they'll lock you into a two year plan with no upgrade until the contract is over. Meanwhile, Apple is going to make a new iPhone in a couple months and then you'll be stuck with an out of date model for a year and 8 months.
