The image of a hipster in painfully thin jeans, an ironic T-shirt and a trucker hat has become a well-established cultural cliche. Those icons of hipsterdom, domestic beer and fixed gear bicycles, are overused as well. Yet it's possible to bring the hipster point of view, with its disdain for the conventional, into a personal vision of photography -- one that embraces a casual, candid approach with a nod toward retro and toy camera photos.

- 1
Take some photos of friends in a casual setting, like a restaurant, a bar or on the street. Set the camera to "vivid color" under the color menu. If you shoot indoors, use the flash to help image sharpness. Avoid posing your subjects. Instead, try for spontaneous moments as they walk, argue passionately or slouch while looking bored. Shoot from the hip without bringing the camera up to your eye.
2Upload your photo to Picnik. This is a free, Web-based photo editor offering simple, intuitive photo processing. Click the "Edit" tab and select "Crop." Convert the image from rectangular to square, as if it came from an old twin lens reflex camera with 6x6 negatives. Set the image size to 1,200 by 1,200 pixels.
3Click the "Create" tab and choose "Effects." On the left, there's a long menu of different effects you can add to the photo. Lomo makes the image look like a lomography photo. The Cross Processing option does odd things to the color. Many of these effects add a vignette, a darker portion of the photo that mimics the way a simple lens causes light to fall off in the corners. Adjust the settings and choose one you like.
4Click the "Save and Share" tab to save the image to your computer. Be sure to save it as a jpg file. Picnik will try to put the edited photo back into the same folder it came from originally.
5Open the photo in Microsoft Paint. Copy the image, then click "New" to open a new blank image. It should be white. If necessary, resize it to a vertical rectangle with dimensions of 1,700 by 1,400 pixels. Paste your photo into it with roughly a 100 pixel border along the top and sides, with a larger white border below. This will create a faux Polaroid.
6Add text to the large blank area below the photo, if desired. Write something serious, but use the Comic Sans font to add an ironic twist that eschews the pretensions of anti-font bias.
