Thanks to Gursky, small is out and BIG is in. And if you’re like us, you were tired of small anyway. It’s simple: Upload your JPG file to the Rasterbator and it spits back a printer-friendly PDF. Use your trusty, or crummy, inkjet (or better yet, your work laser printer) and a few minutes later you’re holding a Rasterbated bundle of sheets ready for assembly into one chic wall mural. Take that, small. The Rasterbator p.s. Need a little inspiration? Check out the Rasterbator tag on Flickr. The photo you see above was rasterbated by Shannon Holman. Thanks, Shannon! |
Not since we used PrintShop for our Commodore 64 has mural printing been this addictive. The Rasterbator is a website that makes printing your photographs HUGE way easier (and way cheaper) than the print jockeys at your local copy shop.|
Thanks to Becky, now you can join the “fun” and play Suduko online. With your photos! Becky’s game uses photographs instead of numbers, and allows you to create your own puzzle by choosing from your photos or those of anyone else (as long as they’re on Flickr.) You can even select the level of difficulty, send your Suduko to a friend, or save a game and come back to it later. The epidemic spreads… Becky’s Photo Sudoku |
Across the globe, millions of people are spending their mornings quietly writing numbers into tiny little boxes, erasing those numbers, then writing new ones.|
We found a clever project that uses CD jewel cases to make rearrangeable, refillable, photo frames for those empty walls of yours. Watch our first ever Photojojo video tutorial and see how you can get your photographs off-line and on your walls in about half an hour! Poooooooolar Bears. Watch our CD Case Photo Frames tutorial |
Come clean. Most of your walls are as bare as the day you moved in. Consider this a friendly intervention.|
It’s advice we would all do well to take. We think it’s high time you got some recognition for all those gorgeous photos you’ve been taking. You know the photos we’re talking about. The ones you knew were gonna be great the minute you clicked the shutter. The ones that made you gasp when you saw them on your computer. Time to share them with the world. Luckily, getting your images in front of a panel of judges is easier than it’s ever been. Galleries, magazines, and photo agencies are all looking for fresh new talent as we speak. We’ve identified some of the best to get you started. Submit today. We’re rooting for you. The 7 Best Photo Contests to Enter Today |
Benjamin Franklin once said, “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”|
But what’s the use of your tiny marvel if you need to carry around a hulk of a tripod to take pictures at night? Or to use the self-timer? Enter ingenius inventors and the magic of plastic. We recently took a look at two super tiny tripods. One’s about as big as a couple fat markers, with bendable tentacles that grab onto anything. The other’s just twice the size of a bottle cap and turns any soda bottle into a camera stand. Read Our Mini-Tripod Comparison |
You saved up, read all the reviews, and bought a shiny new digital camera that’s barely as thick as a credit card. It’s awesome.|
Miranda July, the woman who wrote and directed the delightful “Me and You and Everyone We Know”, publishes quirky “artistic assignments” that get you thinking outside of your norms and acting creatively. Remember art class in elementary school? Finger painting and collages and pottery wheels? This is like that, but ten times more fun. You’ll be surprised at how good it’ll make you feel. Here are some of our faves: Assignment #11: Photograph a scar and write about it Assignment #27: Take a picture of the sun Assignment #30: Take a picture of strangers holding hands Assignment #39: Take a picture of your parents kissing Assignment #50: Take a flash photo under your bed Set aside some me time and dig into a few. There are no due dates, and you’re guaranteed an A+ in feeling good. Miranda July’s Learning to Love You More |
Ever feel like you need a boost of artistic inspiration? Something to jolt you out of a creative rut? We’ve got just the thing.|
Say what? Yeah, seriously. Commisioned artwork is no longer just for aristocrats. In fact, you can commission your very own ink, pencil, or watercolor sketch today, for only ONE DOLLAR. It’s a snap:
As Scott says: “Print it out. Color it. Use it as your next avatar. It’s up to you. It’s the hot new thang — a Sketch-it sketch. Tell your friends.” It’s better than anything you’ll find at the dollar store. We guarantee it. Sketch-It — Custom Sketches for a buck! See also… |
The almighty dollar doesn’t go as far as it once did, but many of life’s pleasures can still be had for a buck: a candy bar, a cold soda on a hot day, a portrait commissioned by a talented artist…|
Exposure Compensation? User Selectable Metering Modes? Did you forget to show up for Digital Demystification 101? Yeah, so did Photojojo. Lucky for both of us, the fine lads at photonotes.org took notes and they’ve put together two amazing tools to help you figure out those tiny hunks of plastic and silicon. Tool #1: Think of it as the Rosetta Stone for digital cameras. On a single page, you’ll see dozens upon dozens of camera screen symbols and their meanings. Don’t know what that square with the three squares stacked behind it means? Just scroll through the page until you see the icon that’s got your goat. Tool #2: The photo terms dictionary. Look up “Dioptric adjustment”, the Rule of Thirds, or anything else that’s been vexing you. We bet our bottom dollar, it’s in there. Digital Camera Symbols, Demystified! See also… |
