Using Cinemagram

Our favorite ham-bone, still waking up from an afternoon nap. Notice something a little different about that photo? Yeah, we thought so...that's what we're itching to share with you today as we head into the weekend.

Now that we've had a little over a week to get used to our new iPhones, we've been having fun downloading and exploring new-to-us apps. A huge 17Apart golf clap goes out to all of you that suggested apps you can't live without — you've made our lives so much easier already! We already mentioned WAY back when wanting to use Instagram and as you can see we've been doing just that (here & here).

Side Note: doesn't it always happen this way — the second we decide to go with the iPhone, they release Instagram for Droid (not that we got them just for that app, but it was pretty funny).

Today's post centers around one new-to-us app we found and are currently having a love affair with. Yes, both of us, at the same time — that makes it OK, right?

Behold, Cinemagram. Oh Cinemagram, how you stole our hearts with your eerily amazing animated gif-making abilities and drew us in hook line & sinker with your free download...

It definitely takes a couple tries to get the hang of and these YouTube tutorials for how to use the app were a big help — but once you've got it, you're hooked. We'll let the photos — ahem, cines — do the talking from here on out.

More scenes from our time at the Monument Avenue 10k...

 My view of the Marina from the Crown Plaza on a recent work trip to Hampton VA...

 The downtown F train coming into the station in NYC...

Fireworks from last night's Flying Squirrel's big home season opener (taken up in the attic rafters of our home, no less)...

 And finally, my Mary, batting those puuuurdy lashes...
