My new favorite iPhone app (which, as noted in the title, is FREE), is Instagram. Not that you asked, but whatever. Remember how Flickr used to be? Like, really interactive? Instagram reminds me a little bit of that. The easy-ass interface and gorgeous filters are particularly compelling, too. I'm not a particularly talented photographer (especially with a cameraphone), but I've found the pictures I've been taking lately and playing around with in Instagram look...well, much better than anything I'm usually capable of, that's for damn sure.
(No one is paying me to say, this, obviously. Or asking me to say this. Or forcing me at gunpoint/iPhone hostage-taking to say this. Or--you catch my drift.)
Here are a few Instagram shots I took around the city in the past week:
Bryant Park ice skating rink at dusk
Grand Central Terminal, evening rush, aka, Pickpocket n' Pervert Happy Hour
Park Avenue, from a cab that smelled like feet and misery.
Puffy lone cloud - view from my office.
Sunrise over Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.
I love winter in New York. Now, go download Instagram and let's be Instafriends, or Friendagrams,, or whatever the hell it's likely called on there. (I am, shockingly, "Metalia.")

Just signed up. Thanks for posting about this! I miss the interaction on Flickr - it's like a ghostland over there.
Ooh, these are great shots.
I need an effing iPhone stat.
you sure make feet and misery look pretty.
Awesome shots.
I wish I had an iPhone so I could use that.
Very pretty! I especially like the one of Park Avenue.
On our recent trip to Manhattan, I noticed that each cab we got in had it's own unique and yet not pleasant smell. I was so excited when my hotel had a car for me to go back to the airport. It was only $5 more and only smelled like leather and Lincoln.
