Slide your photographs in these “Polaroid Frames” and stick ‘em to pretty much any metal surface – the fridge, a cabinet, a locker… you get the picture. Fab idea!

The White Balance Lens Cap
You may think automatic white balance is good enough. But if you’ve ever had to fix dozens (or even 100s) of photos with just slightly different colors, one-by-one, you know the true meaning of pain. The White Balance Lens Cap leaves you no excuse for not properly white-balancing every situation you encounter. Simply flip your camera into custom White Balance mode, snap a photo with your White Balance Lens Cap on, and your camera creates a perfect profile of the actual lighting in front of you. Best of all, unlike a gray card, the White Balance Cap takes no extra room in your gear bag. Just replace your existing lens cap with this one and you’ll always be able to white balance with no additional equipment.
Classy Camera Strap
This Classy Camera Strap made me look. It comes with a quick release swivel snap that leaves only a small keyring attached to the camera. The strap is adjustable and the overall length is 36 inches when fully extended.

Print Society is a brand new site and already an amazing place to find art you can actually buy. If you’re an artist Print Society offers a unique opportunity to get the word out about about your art and sell prints faster. Some fantastic artists are already on board and from what I can tell the potential is huge! The amazing, lovely Laura Holder is their first front page curator!
(Congrats Saha, another fantastic idea and execution!)
Frozen In Time
(Caution, might not be considered safe for work in certain working environments:)
Frozen In Time, Switzerland is a fascinating project by photographer Nathalie Daoust. These surreal, dreamlike images began as black and white photographs, taken with a pinhole camera, then hand-colored.through life experiences, loss and sorrow as well as pleasure.

Look, a sailboat!
I love how our studio-mate Chesley Andrews keeps finding fresh ways of documenting the marine world outside our studio. Her latest picture on EveryDayEastRiver made me smile. And yes, our studio view is pretty darn amazing. Lucky us!

Subway Yearbook Photos
Here’s another awesome Improv Everywhere Mission: They installed a photography studio on a random subway car. They claimed that the MTA had hired them to take photos of every single person who rides the subway and that they’d be producing a yearbook at the end of the year. Most people were happy to pose for them, and the resulting photos show just how diverse New York subway riders can be. Enjoy the video first and then check out the mission report and photos .
I love NYC. I love Improv Everywhere.

Website Finger Hold
Jason’s Website Finger Hold Flickr post made me laugh. This is the de facto way designers present posters. Luckily, it looks just as silly to do it with a website: Website Finger Hold by Jason Santa Maria.
