It’s interesting to see the development of Kodak cameras through their adverts… By 1893 the price of cameras had become affordable. A Daylight Kodak was around $25. With its ‘daylight film’ this portable camera – 4″ by 5″ – required no developing equipment. The 1893 Columbian Exposition – the Chicago World’s Fair – was a dynamic opportunity for Kodak to illustrate the practical advantages of its new cameras. Thousands became cameras enthusiasts [...]

Incredible shots from Austin Mann taken with an iPhone 5. via Macspoilers : Travel photographer Austin Mann recently purchased the iPhone 5 and took it for a field test in Iceland. Just as we thought, the camera is pretty awesome. Austin used the iPhone app Snapseed by Nik Software to edit them while others are the raw image. He puts the camera through low light tests that had minimal noise and produced clean jpegs. He also used the panorama mode to capture some of the beautiful mountains and rivers in amazing detail.

The Impossible Project launched the Impossible Instant Lab via Kickstarter , which is designed to transform any digital image via your iPhone into an instant photo that is exposed using only the light from the display, then processed and developed by chemicals. A photo that no longer needs an electronic device to be seen. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Is a photo just a photo, or...? Permalink | Comment On This Post | Tweet This Post | Add to [...]

Berlin electronic trio with a reputation for unnanounced outdoor performances enter the studio, with some mixed results.
Came across a huge collection of camera and lens manuals from the Soviet Union, all of them have that DDR/Cold War feel and look. Being born in communist Poland i've been shown a lot of this kind of design thru my whole life, I find a strange attraction to it.

Lady Gaga has admitted that she still has body issues , but you'd never know it the way she freely shows off her little monsters. In her latest "Monstervision No. 33 video, a bare-faced Gaga shares some home movies with her fans — one clip features her playing with her godson Zachary (that would be Elton John and David Furnish 's son) while another shows us some behind-the-scenes footage of a dance rehearsal for her 2011 MTV VMAs "You And I" performance. In the middle segment, however, we see [...]
Friend of the blog and Tim Navis collaborator Cameron Ballensky shares some beautifully shot images of his camera collection . I first met Cameron when he assisted Tim on the Tycho shoot, this guy is a technical wizard. He was the one in the car doing donuts around us to kick up the dust in this picture ; came out amazing. Lots of other goodness at his blog Permalink | Comment On This Post | Tweet This Post [...]

Os :PAPERCUTZ em Portugal têm um problema: são portugueses. Senão vejamos: o seu novo disco, "The Blur Between Us" foi produzido por Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio) e pelo pai da banda, Bruno Miguel, no estúdio "The Carriage House", onde os Pixies criaram "Doolittle", o disco tem a colaboração de José Luis Peixoto... Ainda assim, quem passa os :PAPERCUTZ na nossa rádio, para além do sempre incontornável "Portugália", de Henrique Amaro? Contam-se pelos dedos e talvez se encha uma mão, e parte da segunda, por uma [...]
Sometimes it’s easy to forget that bands established relatively recently are just as capable of leaving a legacy as any of the great indie giants. Not necessarily copycat bands, but definitely bands carrying similar ideals and developing the ideas and sounds of whoever has gone before them. In this tradition then, looking at Lockets , it’s nigh-on impossible to listen to their debut, ‘ Camera Shy ’, without thinking of Baltimore dream-pop band, Beach House . All the signs are there on this album, the androgynous vocals buried under layers of synths, echoes and reverb. Lockets [...]
