We just wanted to highlight a few photos from around the web that people should be making photobooks with! 
The photobook industry is dominated by wedding books, big ones, expensive ones, guest books, cheap ones and extravagant ones.  It's your special day (or week depending on what country you are from!) and you should want to look back on those few hours of joy and enjoyment.

Over at the NewsLeader they have a good article about how wedding photography has changed over the years.  With photos like this one though, they oughta make a photobook!  They write:

"Today's couple has myriad options available to preserve the memories of their special day. Starting with, unlike the old days, the groom is often a participant in planning the wedding. However, having so many options of photo styles and price ranges can be confusing. There's traditional style and documentary style. There's also a fine arts/high fashion style and then there is color, black and white and spot color."
Then we have this gem that I found on Wired.com.  This photographer is ingenious and there are actually quite a few of them on that site.  Please go check out these hilarious photographs.  I chose this one because I thought it had so much meaning to it.  It's a hot dog yes, but dogs often "go" on newspapers.  Baked beans are perfect but also, the newspaper I think, has an article about the artist himself!  Hilarious!  This artist oughta make a photobook!

The other day I was introduced to the new concept of "iPhoneography."  I found this iPhone attached lense over at AppAdvice and it looks really cool.  Apparently the new lens will allow you to take wide angle shots and also fisheye shots.  Here are more details:
"The wide-angle subtly brings a little more into your photo, making it effective for landscapes, or even normal group photos. The macro lens let’s you get up close and personal with just about anything. The lenses don’t decrease the clarity of your pictures the slightest bit. Colors are still as vibrant and sharp as they would be without the Olloclip attached."
So for everyone out there with an iphone, get this clip and you oughta make a photobook!
