CameraBag for the iPhone

Derek pointed me to another fabulous iPhone Camera App called CameraBag. Choose from a cool range of retro filters that you can apply to your pictures. Wonderful!

Is that camera looking at me?

Hawkeye camera by Brooklyn based designer Thomas Keeley. Made me smile. Great find, itsnicethat!

Quad Animator for the Quad Camera

How cool: Michael found out about the QuadCamera on swissmiss, and I now learned about the Quad Animator that will turn images into an animated gif on his blog. Going full circle!

Quad Camera

QuadCamera is the the 4th release by Art&Mobile of their ToyCamera series and features continuous shooting. Just pressing the button, and it takes 4-8 serial shots to create one image in multiple dimensions and repetitions: a 4x2 portrait, 4x1, 2x2 landscape, and 8x1 landscape. Love. Love. Love.

Polaroid lives!

If all goes to plan, the Polaroid factory in Enschede, Amsterdam, will soon be making film again thanks to its new owner, an eccentric Austrian artist and businessman named Florian Kaps. Mr Kaps, 39, has dedicated the past five years to instant photography. He set up Polanoid.net, the biggest Polaroid gallery on the web, and the first ever Polaroid-only art gallery in Vienna, called Polanoir.

Joel Barhamand | Stuck in a Strange Loop

I agree with HeadingEast: I like Joel Barhamand's series Stuck in a Strange Loop, because who among us has not at some point been stuck in a strange loop? (While I love the overall design of Joel's site, it bugs the hell out of me when sites go fullscreen. A big no-no in my book.)

Todd Selby | Photographer

Todd Selby photographs interesting people and their creative spaces. Featured in the above picture is Bobb Bruno. I can't remember when a photographer's site has made me linger for this long. I am completely mesmerized by this project and enjoy the glimpses into creative people's apartments. Hat tip off to Todd Selby.

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa, Is there any chance I could convince you to drop a Nikon D90 through our chimney this year? Yes? Yes?

Google goes historic

Google has a new feature that allows you to search through millions of images from the archives of LIFE magazine. And the best of it all, they’re high-res! Nope, I will not get any work done today!

Leica D-LUX 4. Yes, please!

I've had my Leica D-LUX 3 for a good year now and *love* it. I am happy to see that Leica came out with a the Leica DLUX 4 with some great improvements. The most analog improvement of them all is that they've added the camera straps loops on both sides, like with the big SLRs. See the camera's full specs list over at dPreview.

Forest for the Trees

I've posted about Myoung Ho Lee's wonderful tree photopgraphy before. And I am I am the proud owner of one of his Tree #2 print. The Morning News is currently running an interview with him: Forest for the Trees, Art by Myoung Ho Lee, interview by Mike Smith.

A Room With A View

A Room With A View is a record of the rooms Andrew Hetherington has stayed in over the last four years. Each room is photographed using the same process, in as much as is allowed; keeping the lighting and framing consistent in order to let the individual personalities of the spaces present themselves equally. No special requests are made and he always takes the room he is assigned. The interior shots are always taken first and feature the window with the curtains drawn. The bed is included in the frame whenever possible to give a sense of the space. Ideally, he tries to photograph each room immediately upon entry, capturing the layout, furniture and effects precisely as he first sees them.

I had the pleasure to meet Andrew this morning at CreativeMornings and he handed me one of his A Room With A View Books. This encounter/the book officially made me day. Check out the book over at Blurb. So happy to know that this is work in flux. Can't wait to get my hands on the next issues.

instant frame

Small flat-pack instant photo frame formats images as Polaroid (with some trimming). Use a dry wipe to write a message - changing it when you change the image - an homage to the now defunct image format.

'creative mornings' november 14th, hosted by VII, 10minute talk by Stephen Mayes

Carl and I are thrilled to announce our next 'Creative Mornings' which will be Friday November 14th hosted by VII, a 11 member photo agency specializing in conflict photography.

Stephen Mayes, MD of VII Photo will give us a 10minute lecture on "Finding new value in photography": Today's culture puts a low price on intellectual property: photos, music, movies, etc are all getting cheaper (and even free). Authors and creatives of all types need to be inventive about finding new value in their work, and about monetizing that value.

The location is at VII's fantastic storefront space at 28 Jay Street, Brooklyn NY 11201 in DUMBO. Closest subway would be the York Street F Stop. Event opens up at 8:30am with the topic discussion starting at 9:00am. Make sure to r.s.v.p via email as there is only limited space available. Please tell us your name and what industry you're in.

Breakfast will be sponsored by Iridesco, the creators of Harvest, a web-based time-tracking and invoicing application and Co-op, a casual communication tool to help small teams work together better. Both of these apps have played a key role in helping creative businesses stay organized and work efficiently.
