Great photo from The Best of LIFE (via @brokenbottleboy's tumblr) that shows the different layers in a Polaroid.

Love it when Olympus does this to their cameras – apparently this is going to cost £2000. Youch!

did you ever take a photograph that looks like a memory?

And if you look closely, you can see me reflected in his eyes just around 0.24. Kidding, natch, but I was definitely there...

a couple of stonkingly great photography and social media blog posts
an extract from “Getting paid to give things away” by Jonathan Worth (@Jdubbyah on Twitter) “Up to now, I'd always always thought "Networking" to be a hollow and crap term, which summed up what vacuous Trustafarian Socialites did and whose sole motivation was personal gain in a fashionably fair-weather world of parasitic exploitation. “I've never understood it as a variable sifting through, of all the friends, colleagues and acquaintances one had come across, to find those who, at that particular moment you have the most in common with. I don't now think there's anything sinister in this practice as I did before. It's just great.”
http://jonathan-worth.blogspot.com/2009/10/getting-paid-to-give-things-away.html And a bit from “In The New Media World, Photographers who Embrace Change Will Succeed” by Wayne Ford “Working in the business, it’s easy to get despondent about all this — because change is hard. But once you move beyond denial to acceptance, it can also be energizing. We are entering an era in which the photographer and art director can explore many more creative opportunities and visual solutions, no longer limited to just print or television. “Not all of our explorations will end in success. Like Edison, we may fail 10,000 times for every victory. But there is a thrill in the challenge.”

New media, Old media (tags:quotes, social media)
“Being the first is old media, while being to the point is new media.”

A photo a day with Shuttercal
Another brilliant photography project site where you can post a picture every day and have it turned into a calendar for the next year – lovely gift idea or just something to do for yourself. I tried to take one photo a day for a week and failed miserably around day four, and am currently failing to get to photography class once a week, so I don’t think this is for me, but love the idea never the less. Definitely worth a peep. http://shuttercal.com/

welcome home
Or, why I really really need a dog. These videos of dogs greeting their soldier owners make me smile and want to cry at the same time.
This, this I love
How beautiful is this? It’s one of Olympia Le Tan’s embroidered clutch bags made to look like a novel from the 40’s or 50’s. Olympia LeTan

cats with cameras
Aww. Love them, love the camera too... maybe I could ask for one for Christmas to supplement my growing Polaroid habit while the Impossible Project gets those films on sale...
