Review: BlackForest Bags Vinson Messenger Bag

As I've become slightly older (at 30) and more conscious of my personal health, I've also mostly moved away from messenger bags. They're not so great for your back, though some of them encourage you to take less gear. Despite the fact that the BlackForest Vinson is designed to help you take less gear, it's nice to know that you can stuff a whole lot of camera into there. Not only that, but it's also pretty comfortable, deceptively durable, nice looking, and they're hand made in India.

Drake Gave Away Disposable Cameras at His Concerts, And You Can Buy One for $15

While everyone seems to love Instant film and instax a whole lot, the spot where Kodak may still have a weird advantage could be disposable cameras. Take, for example, these disposable cameras that were given away to VIP guests during his Summer 2016 tour. Why? Not sure exactly, but it probably may consist of people not being allowed to use their phones--which is a growing issue around concerts. So to get people to be able to take photos, they can use these customized and branded Kodak disposable cameras from Drake.

Warehouse Conversion: 16 Interior Design and Decor Ideas

As the demand for houses keeps on growing, architects are still managing to find old warehouses to transform into new homes and live-work spaces. We’ve rounded up some of the best examples, including an apartment with a raw-steel movie archive and an industrial space converted into an artist’s studio. The warehouse showcases an eclectic fusion of industrial style architecture and high-end design. Newly constructed, the warehouse features a flexible interior layout with soaring double-volume ceilings and a heated mosaic-tiled plunge pool. The layout is so flexible in fact, if you lived here, you could use it as a two, three or four bedroom—perfectly catered to your lifestyle needs.

16 Bright and Airy Modern Farmhouse Exterior Design Ideas Surrounded by Nature

The farmhouse exterior design totally reflects the entire style of the house and the family tradition as well. The modern farmhouse style is not only for interiors. It takes center stage on the exterior as well. Exteriors are adorned with bright-siding, tin roofs, barn lighting and touches of rustic wood.No matter what materials you choose, either it stone, brick, wood, or steel, you have to ensure that all materials used are durable and can represent what you love and who you are as a person as well. A simple farmhouse informs a simple lifestyle, and that’s something many homeowners look for in a sanctuary: a place where they can feel relaxed, open and unplugged — but not too unplugged. The old way of life still needs to conform to the new one. Some other farmhouse owners prefer to make their farmhouse exteriors look more classy. The overall shape of their farmhouse may look laid-back, but some contrasts of glass windows on the side with a patio will certainly make it look modern and new.

The Foldio 3 Has Eight Cubic Feet of Photography Space That Folds Down to Less Than 3 Inches Flat

The Foldio 3 is designed for those who love that classic product photography look and also for those who need to do bigger products at times. We've previously reviewed the Foldio 360--which lets you also do 360 photography. But now, the Foldio 3 is on Kickstarter and is promising a lot of new potential including more lights, more space, etc. Specifically, this is the light tent that lets you create seamless whites and blacks in an image that's pretty much the industry standard.

The Best Bang For Your Buck Wide Angle Lenses For Sony’s E-Mount

Unlike their DSLR counterparts, mirrorless systems are all relatively new systems without decades of lens design and development under their belts. As such, options are more limited and this is especially true on the wide end of the lens spectrum, where lots of lens development trickery is required. So what are the best wide angle lenses available for the Sony E-Mount system?

These Earrings Are a Utilitarian's Nightmare, and Whitney's into That

I like practical fashion: I tend to favor sneakers over heels, comfortable T-shirt dresses over sexy body-hugging ones and garments that easily match what's already in my closet over ones that don't match anything.

Review: Fujifilm X100F

In many ways, the Fujifilm X100F is both the closest thing to a perfect camera and the most infuriating camera at the same time. By itself, the Fujifilm X100F boasts quite a bit of upgrades over its predecessor the X100T that truly make it competitive and viable. And as always, it isn't at all a bad camera; but it could have been something much better. With the same 24MP X Trans Sensor at the heart of the company's two flagship cameras and that retro-gorgeous camera body that makes lots of photographers weak in the knees, the Fujifilm X100F will undoubtedly sell well--and it deserves to.
