It’s not as compact (or as cool) as an old polaroid, but you can print photos on the go, straight from your iPhone. I love the idea of having instant Instagram prints in my hands. Curious to see the quality.
One thing I would love for Mother’s Day is for someone to take a beautiful family portrait… with me in it. I have zillions of photos of my son, and dozens of great pictures of my husband with him, but only a handful of good pictures of me. I regret not doing a professional shoot when he was a newborn, so I think it would be a nice tradition to take an annual Mother’s Day portrait to mark the passing years.
Wondering what to do with all those foolish pictures of you and your drunken friends/mother/cubiclemate decked in Santa hats that are left over from this year’s holiday festivities? You could just press delete on your digi cam, and let the evidence of your asshattery disappear into the ether; or, you could print them out, snap them in this faux Polaroid frame, and call them art.
And speaking of asshattery, there were over 100 ridiculously funny entries in last week’s Sin in Linen giveaway, which we narrowed down to one eloquent winner. Congrats to Erica, whose comment is here; for having the moxie to use the word “starch,” she gets to sleep on new sheets. (Oh, don’t be sad. I told you witty, not pity.)
Check back tomorrow for this week’s giveaway, from the fantastic Madras 641; you won’t be disappointed.
Isabelle Ribeiro, photographer extraordinaire and fellow UCF alumna, just exhibited her first solo show at Orange Studio in downtown Orlando. While you might not be able to catch her work in person, you can collect photos of her dolls–rambunctious hair and eerie optics abound–in her amazing Blurb collection.
A word of warning: the dolls might not take kindly to being sliced out of their book. Just buy a print from Isabelle instead.
X now marks the shot: with this ingenious self-tripod (sipod?), you won’t return from vacation with an album full of halffaces and fiveheads.
