instagram/wallgram/iphone editing love

I've been cheating on photoshop with instagram cause it is impossible to resist these filters when they pretty much perfect your photo every time. photos these days are evidently mixing all media types, and there are no rules. some would say uploading SLR photos into instagram is blasphemous. but that's just ridiculous. In a world where everyone is an iphonographer, it's the unique mixes people create that catch your eye. gotta leave room for freedom. without breaking rules there would be nothing special. If you don't have instagram, download it here. and play with wallgram to create fun mosaics and.... coming soon POSTERS!!!! yay

It may take me a while to get organized and to execute my concepts, but i am on a mission to make this blog a better representation of my ideas. Typically i repost everything that gets my heart fluttering, and wonder/wish why i didn't think of it first! And so the story of blogging insecurity goes: What am i doing on here, what is my purpose, what are my goals, does anyone even care to stop and take a look? Here's to making a better online presence, To being truthful and original, and to showing my face around here once in a while. Allow me to introduce myself. I am justyna sokolowski, a self taught photographer and graphic designer. "Heart Brain Hands" was born from a degree in education and started in hopes of activating the pursuit of creativity and learning in everyone.

All photos on this blog are my own (unless stated otherwise) I use a variety of cameras, lenses, and design programs, quite often mixing more than one media at a time. I will do my best to show you how it's done. Feel free to repost anything you might find inspiring, but don't forget to show some linklove. - justyna
