Life holds such great pleasure. Like fresh laundered socks, the smell of library books, the release of a brand new version of Photoshop ??�

Though sometimes it’s easy to forget the most simplest of all: the snap of a camera shutter. Pure. Beauty.

Which is why we love our new Keep Calm and Snap On Prints.

Their sharp design (and vibrant colors) look mighty fine. But best of all, they remind us to sit back, breathe, and put a camera in our hands. Ahh yeah.

Getting a puppy as a pet is a great idea especially if you have children that love animals, however, although puppies may be cute they are also naughty and like to run off and in places where they cannot be found, they also have a tendency to chew and destroy whatever they find in their path.

So, to ensure that you always have an eye on your puppy and their activities you should invest in a puppy monitor that you can place in various rooms throughout your house, most of these puppy monitors hook up and link directly to your television and pc so you can watch them in real time and catch them in the act or just watch them in one room while busy in another.

10 years ago, my mother was completely paranoid about purchasing on the internet. She is now a PayPal certified collector of trinkets, books, appliances and procurer of obscure eBay treats and trash.

There have been scores of doubters and dissers alike, which included even the New York Times,’ which claimed in 1999 the real retail revolution was occurring at the hands of Wal-Mart. Questions about contributions to the “independent” newspaper notwithstanding, the classic article cited predictions from a Lehman Brothers analyst, who was obviously unable to predict the circumstances that would lead to the investment bank’s bankruptcy in 2008.

Oh, lenscap, wherefore art thou? Seriously, where the heck did you go.

Like socks in the wash, we’ve misplaced more lenscaps than we care to admit.

That’s why Swedish inventor Benny Johansson developed the SkottiRotta, a DIY lenscap-keeper that cozies up to your camera strap.

Now you can put the kibosh on dust and scratches — not to mention on buying a new cap almost as often as you have to buy new socks.

Alexa Meade is not your average painter.

Her paintings are heavy. 145 pounds heavy. Her medium’s acrylic. But her canvas? Human flesh.

It’s her photography we’re in love with. Combining paint, art direction, and the lens, they’re unlike any photographs you’ve seen.

Her two-dimensional subjects escape their canvas confines and her camera follows close behind, allowing us a peek into a world where art really does come to life.

How often do you leave you home for a vacation without getting worried about the safety of your house? What is the solution? The solution is �?modern technology’. I am talking about Nanny Cams. A nanny cam is a hidden video camera that’s secretly installed inside a household item (like an alarm clock or a radio) to secretly record and monitor activities of nannies. Keeping an eye on babysitters is not the only application of a nanny cam. Spy cameras are also being used for burglary protection these days.

Nanny cams can record almost anything in their field of view. These smart devices can monitor the activities of your teenage child, or keep an eye on caregivers for the elderly. On many occasions, it becomes difficult to monitor the activities of an electrician or a plumber. Having a secretly installed camera can, however, keep your mind tension free.

Burglary is on the rise. Every now and then, we hear the news of a house in the neighborhood burgled. Catching the thieves, who might break into your home while you are away, can be a difficult affair, even for the cops. This is where home security solutions come into the picture. You can search the Internet for such solutions or talk to agents at Oceanside property management.

Is your spouse cheating on you? Of course, you can hire a private detective to catch your unfaithful partner. But are you prepared to pay for the three-figure fee of a private detective agency?

It is inappropriate (and sometime illegal) to film someone without his/her consent. You can, therefore, inform your babysitter or caregiver about the presence of a nanny cam at your place. This will help prevent the babysitter (or caregiver) from spanking, ignoring or abusing your child. Incidences of abuse flood the newspapers these days. Why not take necessary precautionary measures before it’s too late?

We

We <3 Flickr.

We use it to share our pics (obvi), learn how to take better ones, and even make new friends.

But you know what we’ve always wanted? A way to see everything our friends are doing on Flickr. Flickr omniscience, if you will.

Thanks to three curiously clever new websites, you now can.

• Contacts Who Have Faved shows all the photos that your friends have favorited on Flickr recently
• Flickr Chatterbox reveals which of your friends’ photos got comments recently (even if you haven’t faved or commented on ‘em)
• Docent shows you all the galleries your buds have made recently

Together, it’s sorta like having the Facebook newsfeed, for Flickr!

Contacts Who Have Faved

Flickr Chatterbox

Docent

(‘course, no self-respecting Flickr fan can be w/o The Flickr Time Capsule!)

p.s. Hey-ooh! We’re giving away *new* Magnetic Gorillapods! Just RT this on the Twitter or head to our Facebook for more.

A photographer’s best light source? That would be the miasma of incandescent plasma hanging in the sky.

A carefully-placed lens flare can add drama to your shot. But for the truly daring, a little H₂O can take it even further.

Introduce strange squiggles, gauzy haze, and a twinkly smattering of bokeh by placing water on your glass.

Of course, your neighbors may gasp: Dihydrogen monoxide is a menace to electronics, and getting a camera wet is unheard of in polite circles.

Traditionalists may admonish, “it’s simply not done!” But innovators like you know better. High risk! High reward! Now let’s go make history.

Make Your Lens Flares Bloom
