Photo and Vintage Enthusiasts Unite!

Remember digging through your parents old photos and wishing you had a camera that could create dreamy, lo-fi images? You wish is granted with the Lomography Diana Dreamer Camera, now you can take sweet vintage looking photos and transform your images back to a time when the term "mega-pixel" was gibberish.

The camera features 2 shutter settings, 3 aperture settings, and manual focus. It also comes with a book filled with over 200 pages of Diana history, Diana+ images, and truly off-the-wall fictional stories.

a frame that rocks

A perfect frame for that awesome band photo. A frame made from old records is awesome for the rock star on your list.

andy warhol box of photographs

I've always had a thing for Andy. But he's especially hot this year. Barney's has limited edition Campbells soup cans (currently out of stock), and has even decorated their store windows in Andy style.

Alphabets NYC has a really cool gift under their "groovy gifts" section - a red wooden box containing 11 of Andy Warhol's Holson Polaroid albums. Each book contains a facsimile reproduction of Warhol’s sequence. Sweet.

a third hand

It's one of those things you've wished you had at least a thousand times. I wished I had something like this just last week. The Joby is a flexible tripod that attaches to just about anything. And it looks like it fits right into your backpack - so you can always have it with you. They also make a "gorilla version" for those on your list with SLR camera. Sweet. Thanks Leigh!

write a book

Here's a great gift for the bloggers and photographers. At Blurb, you can turn your blog, or your photographs, into a book. An actual hardcover, library bound book. Document a trip, a pet, or your blog for the people in your life who care. Apple's been doing this for a while with iPhoto, and Blurb seems to have taken this to another level. Starting at $18.95.

people love paper

Creative people love paper. Even the internet types. At Ex Libris Anonymous, you can buy hand made journals with covers from vintage books. The journals are individual productions - so the inventory is constantly changing. Really unique and nostalgic gift, from $12 - $15 each.
