Take A Picture, It'll Last Longer

We are so inundated with images each day that we often forget the power that the camera can wield. But the recent Olympic controversy surrounding Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh's photo finish during the 100 meter qualifying round has turned our attention toward the subject of photography. With the images fresh in our minds we're training our lens on topics as divergent as Janine Toro's concise documentation of personal effects, to taking your digital images into an analog world, to how to take the best photos of your old lawn mower to sell on Krrb. So join us these next two weeks on a visual adventure and don't forget to keep your eyes open for that perfect shot.

"I used to wake up in the morning, I used to feel so bad, I got so sick of having sleepless nights, I went and told my dad.

 

"He said, 'Son now here's some little something', And stuck them on my wall, And now my nights ain't quite so lonely, In fact I, I don't feel bad at all.

 

Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful."

 

Sincerely,

Krrbie
