Photography and Photobook News: Memory Card Mystery, iPad Won't Replace the Book, BEES! and Photographing Bubbles!

Read about a fascinating mystery when a camera turned up at a thrift store with a memory card in it. Someobdy found the card and got a couple hundred photos off of it.  With no reference at all there was a little detective work going on to try and find out who owned the camera and where they were and why the camera showed up at the thrift store.

Look like you are really studious by putting books on your computer!  If you are on the computer apparently you don't look studious enough. 


According to WIRED in their article about Edward Burtynsky's amazing "Oil" photos, they have an interesting quote about the photos getting an iPad app:

"With app in hand, we were able to confirm the obvious — the iPad will never replace a print on the wall or a well-designed photo book."

This will give all book manufacturers, book binders and the like an extra kick in their step.  Nothing, not even an iPad app, can replace the real thing in your hands.  Even in 2012.

Over at a Milwaukee News site, they have an article talking about how children photography might be bad for children or detrimental.  Here's a bizarre quote from the article:

"At Shoot the Moon Photography artistic photos are possible. However, newborn photo shoots come with a warning, if not done the right way.


Babies are hanging from trees, or stuffed in jars," explains Vertz as she points to her computer screen and shows us potentially dangerous baby photos found all over the Internet."
