C/Net has a great comparison post for online photo storing sites. They compare Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket, Snapfish and Shutterfly. They include pros and cons for each company.
There was a photographer who won the baby photographer of the year from the National Association of Professional Child Photographers (NAPCP) and as a reward got her image in DOWNTOWN Manhattan! Read about how she couldn't go to see her photo because she was too busy with her kids! Take a minute and imagine one of your photos being on the side of a building!
Here's from the article:
Buckman rise to international heights has been stellar, considering she only bought her first camera in 2008, after she had her second child. “I’d only had a point and shoot before that.”
After a lot of lessons via the Internet and several opportunities to shoot plenty of her friends’ babies, the self-taught photographer’s interest steadily increased,. So, by the time child No. 3 arrived her hobby had turned into an obsession.
When her own children, Kaia, Quinn and Kenda, grew tired of being photographed -- “they’d even run away from me,” said Buckman -- she created Stephanie Buckman Photography and Design in 2009. International kudos poured in, in short measure.Imagine getting a photo in the mail from a friend of a rose. That might be nice. But what if you actually started smelling roses. Would that be weird? Of course not, the paper came from Homewood Press! That's right, this company created SCENTED PAPER! Imagine a photobook of your mother's apple pie that actually smells like your mother's apple pie! There's a list of smells here and we'll just list some of them and you can let your imagination go wild!

and the video above is all about the new Polaroid camera coming back into existence. Here's a piece about it from Gear Burn:
A modern take on their previous offerings of instant photo cameras, Polaroid’s new camera has a split personality of standard point-and-shoot 10 megapixel digital camera and a built in printer. The difference between the new and old cameras is the lack of a need to shake your photos ready.Perhaps the stuff that comes out of the camera will look good in a photobook!
