So do you call this Flickrmatic or HipstaFlickr? This is some conduit at Place-Des-Arts métro in Montreal, first shot with Hipstamatic on iPhone 4S (John S lens; Ina’s 1969 film) then seen through the new Flickr iPhone app’s Iguana filter by Aviary.

The Guggenheim Museum is itself a piece of art, as you might well imagine. Here is is skylight, snow-covered when I visited there a few winters ago.
