There's An App For That!

From time to time I get hooked on a new photo app for my iPhone. Yesterday I discovered Waterlogue and in one short day it's become a serious addiction. Those of you who know me well, know that I am not a fan of over saturated, over Photoshopped images, but I bit the dust on this one. Maybe it's because I'm am a frustrated watercolorist and now with the swipe of my finger, I can turn one of my photographs into a painting. I'm not sure what, if anything, I'll do with this new artistic ability except bore my Facebook friends to tears, but thought I'd share the app and photo today. Have fun and remember, it's addictive.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Nice artistic posting!:)
Oh, I love that! The first time I set foot in Paris, it was like I had walked into an impressionist painting. I could totally understand why impressionism came out of France.
That's an amazing rendering.
LOL, me, too, Virginia. I didn't want to upgrade to IOS7, but did on my iPad, just for this app!
Glad you discovered it! Yes, totally addictive and oh so much fun!
I need to scout around and see what online photo programs will do that. (Alas, no pad or fun phone!). This is simply gorgeous!
Nice to know that I'm not the only one who still doesn't have the latest hand-held toys; just following all of my favorite bloggers takes up more of my time than I care to admit, and PTML is definitely on the list. :-) But I do have a few of my own Paris photos that it might be fun to look at through an "impressionist lens."
I can imagine that would be addictive!
Looks like a fun app. It would have been interesting to see the photo that was used to create this "impressionist painting". Makes one want to get out the watercolors --
Absolutely love this - guess I need this app so I can have fun too.
Well, now I know what I'll be doing all weekend!
Apps like this, although absolutely breathtaking in their artistic renderings, make me rather sad - I so love to get a REAL LETTER, I so treasure a real tiny painting, just for me or a scribble from somebody who wants to show me that I'm loved....
This app is so gorgeous, so perfect that I fear people will stop painting, or doing their creative stuff.... but then I also admit that I'm soon the only person living in France who has no iPhone, nor iPad and who's still doing their own photography, writing, mailing, phoning, cooking etc etc etc. Maybe you think I'm a sad person - maybe not, but I wouldn't buy this gadget for fear of 'ab- or over-using' it :)
Love this! Oh what fun!..Janey
It does look like fun, but I must say: Your photos have a uniqueness & beauty to them that I prefer!
