sometimes you cant beat a classic. i cant achieve anything near similar to polaroids without lots of photoshop work. plus its just plain satisfying to shoot something and then hold the print in your hand immediately afterwards.
As a student photographer I was planning on throwing a bunch of photos together and printing it via apple and iphoto. i looked into it and read some bad reviews of apple's printing methods so i decided to look more into the subject of print on demand. I looked at a ton of options and decided to go with LuLu. I layed out the book myself and uploaded it. Their site gave me a few problems with the formatting but a post to lulu's forums had that solved within a matter of minutes. So after printing a few copies I decided to make it a legit book and acquired an ISBN number for it right through lulu. It's now sold via their website, my website, a few independent bookstores, art galleries, and very soon, Borders and amazon.com.
So as a result of using lulu (or any print on demand service) my photos are being seen all over the globe. Print on demand is revolutionizing more than just the literary world.
weird, usually the infiltrate a bunch of sites and bust all the groups using them. i wonder how they managed to bust just one group? do you think they have "undercover agents" pose as suppliers and then bust the groups from within? i've always wondered how they go about doing this.
just because yahoo has been doing it for years doesnt mean they know how to do it as well. altavista was top dog of searches for a while, yahoo had its day too. point is sometimes companies just know what their customers want and people flock to them.
they can be used for lots of other things. there are countless homebrew apps available, not to mention the amazing Pogoshell or all of the available emulators, picture viewers, ebook readers, etc.
