Santa Goes Digital
Santa.com launches his electronic postal service on the web, iPhone and iPad.

Okay I know this is just screaming LAZINESS or maybe it’s just the wave of the future. I remember when we used to write our letters to Santa with crayon, our kids can just borrow our iPads.

Santa.com is an online destination for kids to write letters, create wish lists, and even hear back from Santa, after all if everyone else has email, why shouldn’t Santa? Santa.com is a one-stop destination for kids and gift-givers to start the season in true holiday spirit.

Santa.com’s Santa Express for the iPad and the iPhone allows kid’s to craft, decorate and send letters to Santa right from their digital devices. Kids will be able to check-in with Santa and his elves through their very own digital mailroom. Letters to Santa can be sent and received all year long, not just during the Christmas season. So, kids who would like to tell Santa what they wish for or send him a thank you note can correspond with him in July just as easily as in December.

“We’re very excited about the launch of Santa.com,” said Santa.com Founder Will Weisman. “Our goal is to make the holidays even more magical, enjoyable and rewarding by leveraging today’s technology. Santa.com celebrates the season’s most treasured traditions, while helping busy parents and gift givers stay on top of holiday wish lists.”

With the launch of its digital letters to Santa, Santa.com gives the entire family fun and convenient access to Santa Claus and his whole gang up in the North Pole. The company will unveil additional features of the site throughout this holiday season.

Tool of the Week: Fish Bomb Accessory Case

a stylish and functional filter and accessory case

A stylish, functional and protective case for all of your digital SLR accessories.

I have several different lenses and they all require a different filter size but I never end up using my creative filters because I hate storing those big bulky cases in my purse or camera bag. That is until I was introduced to the Fish Bomb. The Fish Bomb camera accessory was designed by the wonderful people at Undfind.

It’s a great tool that helps you keep all of your essentials just a belt loop away. You can store your lens filters, batteries, flashcards and any other small accessory you may need while shooting. If you shoot a lot of portraits, slip a compact mirror into a Fish Bomb and have it ready for any nervous clients that want to take one last peak before you start shooting.

Reasons why you need to add a Fish Bomb to your arsenal

Quick Access
When you are in the middle of a shot and the family is posing just perfectly, you don’t want to stop everything and shuffle through your camera bag for that extra battery, you can lose the “perfect shot” in that brief delay.

Easy to Attach
You can easily attach your Fish Bomb to almost anything, you can attach it to your belt for quick access or on the outside of your camera bag. I like to use it to hold my phone so I don’t have to worry about it slipping out of my back pocket while shooting.

Protective and Lightweight
Like I said I always hate having to lug around the filter cases so they hardly get used, the Fish Bomb offers enough protection and its light weight and easy to store.

Versatile
Best of all you don’t have to limit the use of your Fish Bomb just for photography work, you can use it for other things as well. You can store a mirror, your mobile phone, your keys, any small item that you need to be able to access quickly.

PictureMate

I should know by now that whenever I develop a plan, something is bound to go wrong, it never fails. For example at the beginning of the year I bought the totally awesome and creative Project Life Kit by Becky Higgins so I would be able to record this year in true scrap book fashion. Then I received the Epson PictureMate personal photo lab to print out my pictures from home and easily integrate them into the Project Life Kit. I was determined to capture EVERYTHING, the good and the bad.

And I was doing a great job, we had a rocky start of the year with everyone being sick, our son even missed another birthday celebration because of it. He’s always sick on his birthday.  We were able to go to Disneyworld and visit all the parks. I hosted my first networking event. I happily captured it all.
