Remember when a kid's first camera wasn't an accidentally unlocked iPhone? We do, too. And we're glad it's available again, but without all those pesky dangerous bits from the original version. The Fisher-Price Changeable Disk Camera has…

As much as we love all the popular apps and filters that give any old iPhoneographer more professional results, it's kind of great to see that those cheats (let's be honest) are also getting more and more people excited about learning cl…

If you've got a busy summer ahead of you with adventures in new and exciting places, and you like to share your every move with your closest friends and family, a new app called Trip Lens is one to add to your packing, er, download list …

Considering that like many people, I use my iPhone camera for so many of my photographs these days, I shouldn't be surprised that they've got a case that not only waterproofs it, it allows you to safely turn it into an underwater camera.…

A few years ago, I ditched my point-and-shoot camera for a fancy DSLR, and while I was almost instantly taking better photos of my kids, I really had absolutely no idea how to use any of the actual settings. Without time to read the huge…

As a former photographer, there are times when I feel guilty using my iPhone as my main camera source. The iPhone takes great photos, no doubt, but sometimes I think I should dust off my old Canon EOS DSLR and put it back to work. The on…

I have the terrible habit of dropping my little point-and-shoot camera right into my bag without first putting in the case. Now that I have a camera I love , I've gotten better. But there's nothing like the incentive of a cute new camera…

If you're a lomography fan, or just looking for a super cool hostess gift for a friend who's generous with her beach house, this new camera is so neat. The St. Tropez edition of the La Sardina Camera makes me feel elegant just trilling t…

This weekend, my daughter took a dip in a pool wearing her cousin's goggles. She emerged giggly, delighted with the newfound discovery of how cool it is to see underwater. So when I found this swim mask that does even more than help you …

I've been eyeing up the adorable photo collages on my Instagram feed, wondering how my fellow iPhoneographers were making them. Well, it definitely can't hurt to ask, because I got the scoop on the coolest collage app that's super easy t…

Behind every great photographer is a great assistant. Okay, so maybe she's actually clinging to your leg and gumming your camera strap. Still, she's awfully cute. And she needs this onesie. The Assistant Onesie from LA-based Amy Tangerin…

It's been a long time since I've carried around my SLR, but one thing was certain when I did that I learned from my shutterbug friends: Never use it without a camera strap. With that in mind, just look at these gorgeous camera straps I f…

Considering that the Instagram app is so popular these days, it's no surprise that someone finally created a prototype for a camera based on the Instagram technology. Except it actually takes and prints pictures. The Instagram Socialmati…

My husband has about 400 photos jamming up the memory on his iPhone 3GS that I'm sure will never see the light of day. And don't even get me started about how many are sitting on my hard drive, just waiting for me to print so I can quell…

You just captured the perfect seaside photo of your two adorable kids playing in the waves only to realize that right when you clicked the shutter, two beach-goers wandered into the frame of your quintessential moment. Your husband snapp…

As Father's Day creeps up, I think about all the cameras and photo gifts that some lucky guys are going to get. Then I think about all the photo storage they're going to need. (Especially you new daddies!) While there are plenty of optio…

Getting passport photos taken is arguably one of the least fun aspects of trip preparation (besides actually waiting on line for the passport). The last time I had to get passport pictures taken, I unfortunately chose an extraordinarily …

I can't tell you how thrilled I was to hear that Shutterfly has bought Kodak Gallery , especially since I'm an avid user of both. But on July 2, Kodak Gallery will close completely, so before then, you're going to want to take some actio…

With all the cool things we're all doing with photos on the iPad 2 and the new iPad, like scanning photos and creating cool photo e-books , it's no surprise that so many people are storing and editing photos right on their iPads. If you'…

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited on a trip of a lifetime: To travel to Alaska to see the Aurora Borealis with a research team from GoPro, a family-run business that's grown massively in just a few years. Before this trip, I wasn't to…

We were pretty stoked to log onto Photobucket this week (our longtime choice for storing photos online) and say wait...what happened? It's awesome! As it turns out, they just partnered with Pixlr to offer incredible photo editing tools f…

When I opened the mysterious package that arrived for me this week, I was surprised to pull out a vintage hat box. Surprised and happy--since vintage hat boxes are one of my most favorite things. Inside, there was all this cool ephemera.…

Like many of you, we've used Picnik on a fairly regular basis. But now that it's officially closed today, it's time for some new photo editing options. In case you missed them, here are a few of our favorite Picnik alternatives that we'v…

I've come to a conclusion recently that I must make my peace with - I'm never going to catch up on updating my photo albums. Deep breaths. I've made valiant efforts to get prints made, but being about 1,247 photos behind in just two year…
