Postagram
is a free app for iPhone and Android that creates personalized
postcards using your Instagram pics. It is so fast and easy to use The
postcard consists of a glossy photo printed at 300-dpi in a removable
bezel, a customizable message, and an option to include a profile pic of
the sender. Each postcard is one dollar, including shipping. It is
instantly printed and shipped to your family and friends
anywhere-domestically and internationally.
My
one complaint is that they limit your message to 140 characters (a la
twitter), which is simply inadequate. You are forced to be short and
sweet.
The Postagram above is one I recently sent my dad (the ultimate Dylan fan) for
his birthday, which he received within five days of my placing the
order.
The answer to my awesome trivia question is of course Jones St. in Greenwich Village, which is famous for appearing on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album cover. The guy and the girl filling in for Bob and Suze Rotolo in my pic above are strangers who just happened to be walking down the street when I snapped it. I also love how there is a blue car on the left and a white car on the right just like on the album cover, which was snapped 49 years ago.
"I’m walkin’ down that long, lonesome road, babe/ Where I’m bound, I can’t tell/ But goodbye’s too good a word, gal/ So I’ll just say fare thee well/ I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind/ You could have done better but I don’t mind/ You just kinda wasted my precious time/ But don’t think twice, it’s all right" --Bob Dylan, Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right
