It seems like all the tech news outlets are gushing over the new Facebook camera app. It’s awesome, it works great, blah, blah, blah.
Here’s my two cents.

With the invention of something really cool comes the fans that want to talk about that cool thing. Heck, we’re in that mix because we love iPhoneography! Instagram is no different.
Also in the mix are the people that want to profit from said phenomenon. Around Instagram is a plethora of services ranging from web pages to view photos, printing photos, it goes on and on. But one man wants to make something a little… different.
Behold, the Instagram camera.
Last week we had Doc Pop on our show to talk about Postagram. Postagram is a service that will take your photos from your iPhone or your Instagram feed and make a nice little post card out of them.
The service is inexpensive, quick and easy, but the real question is this: What are the prints like?
I tested it. And here are my thoughts.
I’ve decided to start a new segment for the site… something to get me in the habit of writing regularly and sharing photos with you all. I decided to call it Marc States the Obvious because the stuff I will probably regularly say is stuff you most likely have heard before. But I also feel that these are the things we most likely forget, too. So it bares repeating… especially for me.
The Lens Wipe podcast, our sister podcast, is featuring an interview with food photographer Jenny Brown. Jenny is very cool – her blog features a combination of photography, food recipes and a touch of her personal life.
And best of all, she’s an iPhone photographer! You can find her photos on Instagram, username is: Ultrabland. In fact, this is how I found her. I don’t remember if her food was featured as a photo of the day or I just saw her in someone else’s feed, but photos were striking and delicious. I mean, just look at that photo on the right! It’s delicious!

When we started this iPhone photography podcast, the first thing I wanted to do is to buy and review the telephoto lens from Photojojo.com. The day we went live with the show is the day I put in my $35 order. I will talk more about this on the Tiny Shutter podcast, but for now here is my review:
With the launch of the podcast, we are also gearing up ways for you, the listener, to share your comments, photos and suggestions. In the post below we gave you the link to share on Google+. Now here is the link to join the sharing and discussions on Facebook.

Now all that’s left is to create our ultimate MySpace page and decorate it with glitter, animated GIFs and transparent text and backgrounds. We’ll top it off with Sweet Caroline playing in the background with no hope of turning it off. I kid, of course…
