It's no secret that I take photos with my iPhone on occasion. Some of them turn out great, to the point where people are shocked to learn what I captured them with. Others just turn out average and boring. Snapshots are fun, don't get me wrong. But sometimes you need to spice things up a bit. Earlier today, I found an app for the iPhone called ShakeItPhoto, which promises to do just that.

While fake-Polaroid (fauxlaroid) programs usually bug me, this one's slightly different. Instead of plugging in an already captured image and spitting out a retro-ized copy, ShakeItPhoto captures a fauxlaroid directly. Sure, it's still a fake post-process that gives it its vintage look, but at least the photograph you take is destined immediately for such a process. It's ever-so-slightly more legitimate, and ultimately more fun!
