We really loved this photo Liz Danzico sent us of her brand-new photo bag, featuring her pup Lucy. Adorable!

This couldn’t have come at a better time; if you’re looking for another cheap and easy way to shoots you some awesome Fisheye, why not look to your Christmas tree?
DIYPhotography.net came across a really awesome way to get a similar effect to regular Fisheye – using a Christmas ornament bulb!
One shiny bulb, three simple steps, bing bada boom – you’ve got a great 360 degree (-ish) fisheye look… head on over to check this one out, folks. Then try it out, and let us know how it goes!

You gotta love a guy who makes his own holiday cards year after year. Thomas Hoehn, over at Kodak’s A Thousand Words blog, does exactly that – and it never ceases to inspire us just how awesome his cards get. (Last year he made stained glass look-a-likes as cards!)
This year’s card is all about pull-tabs and other interactive fun, with some of Thomas’s awesome photos from the past year to boot. Pulling a tab on the finished card reveals a great hidden message – well, instead of us telling you about it, head on over and watch the video to see for yourself!
It’s like a whole bucket of festive yuletide, delivered right to your mailbox. Woo hoo! (Thomas, if you want our address to mail one of these…)

If there’s one thing we like almost, almost, almost as much as photography – it’s coffee!
Our pal Doug just pointed us to the DIY Coffee Can Ring Flash, over at the Strobist blog. It miraculously combines our two favorite things, and makes it ridiculously easy to start putting our SLR camera’s pop-up flash to better use!
No more “deer in the headlights” look with our flash photography – no sir. We have our coffee can to thank for that!
(p.s. If you come up with a way to adapt this to use with a point-and-shoot camera, get in touch, would you?)

Our pal Danny Farmer sent us a great email the other day that really made us smile.
Not only did Danny love a recent shopping experience he had here at Photojojo, but he also shared with us something awesome he did with some of the Fotoclips he got from the Photojojo store. Well, let’s let him tell you:
I am stationed overseas in Iwakuni Japan so getting things over here isn’t always easy… Not only did you answer all my question towards fpo/ap - I got my package of photoclips in and it had a Blowpop in it! Packages are a great morale boost and let me say – I was smiling all the way home - Thanks for… well Everything! A Great Company, A Great Product… and a Great newsletter! A regular triumvirate of awesomeness!
How neat is that? Danny, man, we’re thrilled that we could spread a little photo cheer. Thanks for making OUR day….

Okay, so we don’t know how great the Bethlehem postal service was back then. We can’t imagine the shepherds even bothered with it when trying to get the family newsletter/photo/holiday card out, nevermind that there probably weren’t many stamps around. The angels, on the other hand, definitely had a great way of getting the message across – and they did it with “style”.
Here’s one awesome NY-based family that must’ve inherited the angels’ ability for sharing great blessings. They decided to model their Christmas cards this year after Jan von Holleben’s “Dreams of Flying” photo series, which we told you about in the newsletter a while ago. Gabrielle, the Mom, documented the process on her wonderful blog, and we can’t be more impressed with the results!
Go ahead, check it out – we can only imagine the fun Gabrielle and kids had photographing this, and we’re sure the folks on their Christmas card list are gonna love it.
(Now we just have to figure out how to get on their list too.)

As proud citizens of Flickr-opolis, long have we yearned to be able to edit our photos right within Flickr. The hassle of the constant back-and-forth between Photoshop and Flickr, uploading and re-uploading, often meant (for us, at least) that some photos never got the TLC they needed.
Well, we all know that would never do.
But now, thankfully, two awesome forces have come together: Flickr, thou most awesome site of photo storage goodness, and Picnik, thou equally awesome site of online image editing gravy (imagine sticking Photoshop into a website. Yeah, it’s like that.)
As the folks at Flickr explain in their announcement about the partnership, now – whenever you want it – clicking a little Edit button above your photos will bring up a neato photo editing screen, powered by Picnik. You can fiddle with the basics (cropping, contrast, exposure, etc.) as well as slap nifty filters and effects (B&W, sepia, film-grain, and more) onto your photos, anytime and anywhere. No leaving Flickr, no Photoshop required.
Man, we’re living in an awesome world….
