Good morning Postafans! Our newest Postagram update is now available in iTunes and has a great new feature: Order History! To see your complete order history, click on the history button in the Account menu. This will show you what cards have been ordered, when, and if they were scanned. Android fans; don’t panic 
Our devs are working their butts off to get the Android update out as quick as possible.
Blaine Toms sent us this great Postagram card. We loved it so much we just had to share it on this blog. Blaine captured this shot by pressing his iPhone up to a telescope, similar to the TTV technique we discuss in this Postagram Tips video.
A few days after Blaine took this photo there was a “supermoon“. Did anyone out there capture any good mobile photos of the supermoon? Here’s an iPhone/telescope shot I took last summer:
We love Ellen Fithian’s year long 366cranes (it’s a leap year) project. Each day she creates a new origami crane and leaves them around for others to find. Ellen has been documenting the project on her @efithian Instagram account (#366cranes) and on her Facebook too. I love the idea of walking around town and discovering one of these beautiful little cranes tucked away in the environment.
Thanks for the Postagram, Ellen! We love to hear the cool and creative things our users are up to!
We’ve launched a bunch of great new Postagram features lately, but my favorite is probably our new scan-able “Stamp” on each card. Scanning Stamps earns you Sincerely credits, makes it easy to download/share images, and makes replying with a Postagram a breeze. We’ve put up a short video explaining this feature in more detail.
What do you guys think of our new Stamp feature?
Our next San Francisco based Instawalk is this Saturday, April 21st, at the fabulous San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. For those unfamiliar with the concept, an Instawalk is similar to a traditional photo walk, but users are encouraged to share their photos in real time via Instagram and Twitter using the #instawalkSF tag. Everyone is welcome to join us, but the first 20 people to email doc@sincerely.com with a confirmation that they are coming, will get a free ticket courtesy of the SFMOMA (typically $18).
InstawalkSF at the SFMOMA
4/21/12 1pm-3pm(ish)
Meet outside the front entrance

It’s always fun to see the cool new things you can do with your cell phone’s camera that wouldn’t necessarily work with high end cameras. In today’s episode we talk about Through The Viewfinder (or TTV) photography as well as how to use a drop of water to get great microscopic photography. No special apps required and works with any cell phone camera.

We just got word about this cool collection of mobile photography here in SF tonight. The show, which I believe is called the Mobile Photo Awards, has an opening reception from 6-9 at ArtHaus, and will be running until June 30th. More details here. I can’t wait to check it out.
The wait is over! Instagram, the most popular app for sharing your mobile photography is finally available on Android. We know that means a lot of new users will be signing up today, so here’s our quick Postagram Tips video teaching everything you need to get started using Instagram.
Don’t forget to follow @postagram for more tips, tricks, and pics of our cute office puppy!
Ever wish you had your own personal rainbow? Then we’ve got the perfect gadget for you. The Rainbow Machine combines light painting and long exposure photography along with a quick flash of light to create great portraits.
The creators of The Rainbow Machine recently set up their project at the MTV O Awards and used Postagram to send physical copies of each photo as a postcard. Totes awesome!
The creative folks behind The Rainbow Machine are looking to take their show on the road. If you have a cool event coming up, you should consider hitting them up. I can’t wait to have my own rainbow portrait someday.
