I’m one of those guys who brings a camera with him wherever he goes. I don’t think about it as much as I should, but I imagine I can make people pretty uncomfortable by snapping photos of them when they least expect it. Some people get pretty antsy when I whip out my point-and-shoot. And I guess I can’t blame them.

That’s why these Photographer Disclaimer T-Shirts might become an essential piece of my wardrobe. These shirts warn the public that I might be apt to whip out a camera at any moment. So if you don’t like flash photography, you might want to steer clear. The “Beware of Photographer” ($30) and “Flasher” ($24) tees are both available from RedBubble.

Can you still remember the satisfying click of a Polaroid camera? If you can, it’s about time you got a digital, just sayin’. I mean, you can create a Polariod effect with like, two clicks in Photoshop.

But if you’re still a Polaroid geek and proud of it, then don’t fuckin’ listen to me. I’m a douche bag anyway. You should totally rock your pride with this Polaroid Pendant necklace.

Check out this snap taken by the Mars Global Surveyor on May 22, 2003. Every so often the planets align so that both Jupiter, Earth and the moon can all be captured in one wide angle breathtaking shot.

Hit the jump to see where the planets were located when this shot was taken.

We’ve already witnessed a few examples of ultra-realistic video game creations, but nothing that mixes the gaming aesthetic with reality quite as well as this Jump ‘n’ Run photography series by Patrick Runte.

The series features classic gaming characters in real-life scenarios, illustrating what exactly the games would look like if they were live-action rather than bit-tastic. Check out a bunch more after the jump.

Georbes Seurat’s famous pointillism painting, “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte,” recreated in modern times with modern photography.

I always thought this painting was by Monet. Shows how cultured I am.

While amateur photographers have long enjoyed the luxury of the WiFi-enabled Eye-Fi SD card, pros will be happy to know that there’s finally a solution available for them. For $150, you’ll cop a 4GB SD card that supports WiFi uploading, the ability to choose which pictures go where and RAW imaging support. Gizmodo reviewed it and says it’s great, so if you spent over $2000 on a digital camera, it may be worth a look.

What could possibly be more tragic than a bunch of frowning, crying clowns mourning one of their own? How about a gaggle of pallbearers dressed in full clown regalia?

Now would be a great time to take a listen to Smokey Robinson’s “Tears of a Clown.” Classic. Tons more after the jump.

Poor Boppo. R.I.P. <3 <3 <3

Flickr user { tcb } searches for abandoned property and then performs some awesome light writing effects. The photos speak for themselves. It seems totally worth it, shooting in an abandoned setting. Not only for freedom and safety sake, but because of the personality the settings ooze through their pores.

Each of these settings has a history. And while we don’t know exactly what that history might be, you can feel the energy of the past, of a busier time when perhaps the area wasn’t abandoned at all. The light writing itself? Top notch. (more…)

Ah. Yeah. Um. These…these pics were taken by, ah, photographer Andrey Razumovsky. The models look like they’re, um, slathered in milk but they’re…really just…wearing dresses. Excuse me. I have to, ah, go to the bathroom for 10 minutes.

Don’t worry. You will too after the jump.

These guys from Germany do time-lapse photography and use light sticks and such to create beautiful images. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen light art as good as LAPP’s. Sprint-Nextel’s commercials last summer were decent but I think the Germans have us Americans beat on the light art. If you want to try your own light art out, grab a digital camera and a glowstick or download an iPhone app.
