Digital Photographer of the Year 2010 JUL 16, 2010 11:25P.M.

All that’s left is your scanner, camera, and film. WHAT DO YOU DO? Create art IN your camera! Imagine Publishing and Samsung are joining forces to launch the fourth annual Digital Photography of the Year awards.
Martin Wilson did, and the results are incredible: each contact sheet is a self-contained work of art, made of cleverly-composed patterns and words.

The entry level L22 sits at the bottom of the Nikon Coolpix range, but that doesn’t mean that you should immediately write it off. After all, £79.99 / €95.00 surprisingly buys you quite a lot of camera, with a 3.6x zoom lens, 3 inch screen and 12 megapixel sensor all included.

Only the most adorable magnetic photo-holders shaped like animals. Ever. Intricately-detailed zebra, grizzly bear, deer, and hammerhead shark each split in two with hidden magnets for sandwiching and holding your prints. Photo-farm > Farmville.
