New Polaroid ShakeItPhoto Contest Starts Now!
Hope you're enjoying the new ShakeItPhoto 2.0! We're so excited about the new Official Polaroid option. It's been a while in the making and we're happy to hear that so many of you are really liking the Polaroid look!
To celebrate the release of 2.0, we're doing a contest. It will be similar to the Banana Camera Co contests that we've done in the past. In case you haven't been apart of those, here are the details:
Theme
Reminiscent. (Be creative as you want! There are no rules!)
Submit
Enter your ShakeItPhotos into the Banana Camera Co Contest Flickr group. You may post up to one photo per day for the duration of the contest. The contest begins April 25th and ends May 2nd.
For this contest, please use only the new Polaroid ShakeItPhoto look (update if you haven't already). You may use other apps in addition to SIP, but SIP must be used (obviously).
Winner
The winner and winning entry will be posted and announced on the Banana Camera Co blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr within a few days of the contest's close. We will include your website/blog, Twitter info, etc., so be sure it's on your Flickr profile (or email it to me) if you're interested in having us share that info. (I will also post some Honorable Mentions.)
Show Us Your Entry
If you want to, Tweet your entry in the contest (using the link to your photo/entry in the Flickr Group) and mention @BananaCameraCo. We love to see and RT the contest entries!
Questions? Post them here or email us at info@ShakeItPhoto.com
Hope you guys have fun with this! Can't wait to see your pics!
New ShakeItPhoto Update! Includes New Polaroid Look!
We are so excited to announce that the new ShakeItPhoto update includes the option to turn on a realistic Polaroid photo look. And to go with the new look, there is also a brand new website!
We've seen some great shots taken with the new look already! Be sure to show off your Classic ShakeItPhoto or Polaroid ShakeItPhoto shots on the flickr or facebook pages!

Some Favorite Shots From the Best of @ShakeItPhoto Flickr Group #iphoneography
Have you visited the ShakeItPhoto Best Of Flickr group? It's a group that's full of your favorites (and our favorites, too). Today, we've chosen three out of the more recent ShakeItPhoto pics in the group. Here are the ones we love...
(Later, we'll post our faves from the Best of CrossProcess Flickr group, so go ahead and upload your best shots!)
Want to know where to post your ShakeItPhoto and CrossProcess shots? These are the official Banana Camera Co Groups:
One of BananaCameraCo's Fave iPhoneographers: Robert-Paul Jansen
This post should probably be a lot longer than it is. We are huge, huge fans of Robert-Paul Jansen. He actually won a copy of one of our apps a while ago when we were giving them away via Twitter and has been creating incredible ShakeItPhoto and CrossProcess photos ever since. He's been a part of our BananaCameraCo contests (he won an Honorable Mention) and has always given us great, constructive feedback. If you follow any iPhoneographer, follow Robert-Paul Jansen. You won't be disappointed!

ShakeItPhoto made it into the pages of Playboy Magazine this month. Thanks to Bruce for showing us!
Flickr Stream : CrossProcess & @ShakeItPhoto Photos by Nicholas Corsalini #iphoneography
Check out how beautiful these photos are. They should be in magazines (do people still read magazines?). I love them all. Taken with CrossProcess & ShakeItPhoto.

Academy Award Winner, Lee Unkrich, Celebrates with @ShakeItPhoto #iphoneography
We are huge fans of Pixar and last night, the director of Toy Story 3, Lee Unkrich, won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.
We've know that Mr. Unkrich has been using ShakeItPhoto for a while now. He brings "Big Baby" (a scary droopy-eyed tiny, naked doll from the movie) with him and shoots ShakeItPhoto pics of Big Baby's adventures; lounging on the beach in Hawaii, visiting Greecian ruins, training it to Dublin, hangin' with Michael Cera, Don Rickles, George Costanza's mom, and even chilling in a big artichoke.
Last night, we took a gander at Lee's Twitter and saw that he'd been capturing the night by taking shots with ShakeItPhoto. Big Baby got a new friend that night, too. Congrats, Lee!
GQ Magazine: Apps Hipster Girls Should Never Be Without (including @ShakeItPhoto) #iphoneography
Mark Dascoli [twitter] emailed us about this write up in GQ Magazine.
ShakeItPhoto made it into the 'Apps Hipster Girls Should Never Be Without' section. GQ writes that hipster girls will mutter "I'll only ever work in film" as they shake their photos. ;)
(We were also notified that ShakeItPhoto is in the March issue of Playboy. Who will be brave enough to scan us the article?)
Portraits with CrossProcess
For the company holiday card, Jim Barraud and his coworkers thought it would be fun to include portraits "(very) loosely based on a Swedish dance band" and brought in a professional photographer to do the job.
