Photography

Even though my main camera in the past year has been my iPhone, I have a snazzy compact digital camera that has been greatly neglected. I've decided to resurrect it to give me more photo-taking options, but of course, making that decisio…

My iPhone doubles as my camera. It's why I have so many photo apps -- my iPhone is almost always in my hand whenever the kids do something cute (and even not-so-cute). The digital camera? Honestly couldn't even tell you where that thing …

After having just uploaded oh...hundreds of photos from my camera after the BlogHer conference (give me one mojito and suddenly everything looks like a good picture) I can't sing the praises of the Eye-Fi wireless memory cards enough. Es…

Stumbling upon this adorable iPhone, iPod or iPod Touch case on Etsy, I thought it was be a sweet gift for a kid going back to school this year with tech in tow. Made by a Florida artist, it's a simple design with a Velcro closure to giv…

I am a proud new owner of a Sony Cybershot WX9 . Emphasis on the word proud . I cannot tell you how much I've loved rediscovering the joy of taking pictures again--the kind with actual pixels beyond what my iPhone 3 can offer. And I've l…

These days, any videos I catch of the kids is with my iPhone 4, which thankfully means I'm catching way more than I ever did before. But if you've filmed kids before, then you know that even the quick tab slide and tap that's required to…

I know I'm not alone when I say I can't get enough of photo apps for my phone like Instagram , Photocopier , and my first love, Hipstamatic . Now there's a fun one I've just added, that's great for taking old fashioned photo strips. Pock…

As a self-proclaimed iPhoneographer, I use my iPhone 4 camera for everything. Even editing, which is a far cry from anything I used to do with a point and shoot. And since discovering this fantastic app, I'm able to turn my regular old p…

While I'm pretty proud of myself for actually getting my photos uploaded to Flickr, I tend to just let them sit there collecting digital dust. But now with this cool new service from Photojojo , I can get my old photos sent to my inbox e…

My kids have wonderful grandparents in Florida, but they have one major flaw: None of them will make my life easier by joining Facebook or even using email to communicate. That means I have to make sure to send hand-written letters and t…

While it's clear that the smartphone is the new camera (and GPS and address book and pretty much everything else), I kind of love that someone has walked right into it with vinyl iPhone skins that look like actual cameras. At istickercoo…

Remember last week, when I said I wanted to live in NYC so I could see some real, live yarn bombing ? Still true. But now I've got another reason on my (very long) list of why I need to go to the Big Apple. I want to be caught reading on…

You don't have to go to an ashram or take up Bikram yoga for this sort of Epiphanie, the hottest camera/gadget bag of the year. All you have to do is be a Cool Mom Tech subscriber and invite three friends who would enjoy all the techy go…

Maybe I'm just getting older, or maybe it's the fact that I'm a busy working mom with two kids. But lately, my mantra has been keep it simple . It's probably the reason we've been having one too many breakfast-for-dinner meals lately. It…

There's really not much I miss about using a real camera since exclusively switching to my iPhone 4. Well, except that decisive click of the button that lets you know that you've got the shot. So wouldn't you know that someone has invent…

I've lamented many times in previous posts the sheer number of photos I have on my phone, and the many ways I attempt to organize, manage, fancify and distribute. There are so many apps and services available to help with this process, b…

If you're an Instagram devotee, you're going to love a super fun new API that turns your (and your friends') Instagram feeds into probably the coolest screensaver you've ever had. By downloading the Screenstagram file onto your Mac OS (S…

I admit that way back when my husband bought me a first generation iPhone, it was a completely frivolous purchase for me--something I coveted because it looked cool. And I could check email from my phone! Technology! Fast forward a few y…

If you've ever wanted to star in a Ron Howard film, you might just have your chance now, thanks to his exciting new collaboration "Long Live Imagination" with Canon. This exciting project and "Project Imagin8ion" photography contest is k…

One nagging project of mine is getting prints of all the digital pictures I have on my phone so I can keep our family photo album (yes, with actual 4x6" prints!) somewhat up-to-date. I just checked and the last photo in our album is from…

Q: Aw man...where is the Hipstamatic for us Android users? -Cool Mom Tech fan via Facebook . A: Lots of readers agreed with Debi Mazar's Hipstamatic app recommendation on our site last week, but our Android users are again asking, "where…

It's arguably the hottest gadget bag of the year, the one that had tongues wagging when it was on display at our big launch event , and we want to give one to you and three of your friends. It's the Epiphanie Camera Bag. And it's easy to…

Oh Appy Day! gives you the scoop on the coolest apps from some of the coolest people anywhere. This week, Debi Mazar shares her fave. I love using Hipstamatic to shoot pictures as if they were on a vintage film camera. I've used it to ge…

Summer is just around the corner (finally!) along with fun, sun, and of course, cute little bodies in cute little bathing suits which make for plenty of photo opportunities. But there's nothing like a big splash of water on your camera (…
