Guest Blogger: Best Photography Apps

As today’s smartphones get progressively smarter, the level of sophistication in the built-in cameras is also on the rise. There are a lot of fun apps out there – for example, my friends love apps like SnapChat – an app that allows you to send photos of yourself to your friends – the catch is that the photo is automatically deleted, allowing for a lot more freedom from embarrassment. They also love things like Catify Yourself (it’s exactly what is sounds like) and Fat Booth, an app that alters your picture (namely, gives you multiple double chins) to give you the appearance of, oh, don’t know, a hundred or so extra pounds.

POMPIDOO AND THE RED JACKETS AWARD

Latvia is a comparatively small country, however amount of cool creative ideas is huge! Moreover, appreciation of this creativity goes far beyond Latvian borders and many companies happen to grow their export business in a very nice tempo. That’s why 25 young companies were invited to present their businesses and compete for the title “The Rising Star”, POMPIDOO including.
