"New" Metalprinting Technique

I laughed a little bit when I read this on Bayphoto's website.

"MetalPrints™ represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets."

 Tintypes, anyone?

To Add Levity

In contrast with my previous, serious post about Instagram, here's a little related humor. Props to the folks at The Verge.


The Deal With Instagram: What it is, How I feel About it, and Why I'm not Afraid of it.

Facebook just snatched up Instagram for a cool billion. I remember when we used to say "a cool mil" like that was the most money anyone could ever have... Anyways, as I'm sure we're all aware by now, Facebook recently purchased the mobile photo-sharing app Instagram for 1 billion dollars. And to top it off, the deal included a 20% breakup fee of 200 million dollars.

I personally didn't even know Instagram was a thing until the purchase. So when this thing hit my radar I was like, "Whoa. What's the deal with Instagram?" A few Google searches later, I understood. Another social network, another photo sharing app. Big whoop.

The "whoop," after the jump.
