Postagram app turns your Instagram photos into postcards

Postagram app turns your Instagram photos into postcards Apr 12th, 2011 at 2:30PM: The whole crew here at Gadling loves sending postcards. Heck, we love receiving them, too.

The Disposable Memory Project Jun 23rd, 2009 at 8:30AM: Disposable cameras have become a very popular way of capturing images in the digital age.

Through the Gadling Lens: 7 photography exercises for the brand-new photographer Mar 5th, 2009 at 11:00AM: I bought my very first SLR camera about 15 years ago. I knew nothing about photography at the time, so I enlisted the aid of a professional-photographer-friend to come with me to help me choose my camera, and, since I had his attention, teach me a few pointers about photography as well. "You'll be buying second-hand," he informed me, "and you will pay nothing less than $500." Gulp. A few days ...

Sleeping Chinese shares hysterical non-action shots

Sleeping Chinese shares hysterical non-action shots Dec 8th, 2008 at 4:00PM: Everyone has their own idea of what makes the perfect photograph. For some, it's a city skyline at the magic hour.
