If there's one piece of technology that I love, it's my phone. And as a photographer, always having a camera is convenient, occasionally saving myself from missing that once in a lifetime shot.
However the worst part is the fixed focal length of my phone's camera.
Since its launch back in April 2006, Photojojo has grown from a fun photography newsletter to a massive online store filled with photo gifts and gear. Today the company just launched a major new endeavor: Parabo Press. It's a photo printing app for iOS that lets you transform your digital photos into all kinds of physical products.
The popular photo newsletter and online store Photojojo has launched an iPhone app called Disposable Camera. It's a digital version of the disposable cameras of old, allowing users to snap 27 exposures and receive the photos as physical prints on your doorstep.
If you’re looking to make a DIY gift or keepsake, the folks at Photojojo have come up with a great project for you. It's a clever pop-up photo print that can be packed (and shipped) flat, then opened up to create a 3D version of the photograph of your choosing.

If you thought ordinary iPad photographers looked silly, wait till you spot someone in public with a telephoto lens strapped to the front (er... or back?) of their tablet.

Smartphones are being used more and more to capture daily life photography, but many of its loyal users are perpetually stuck at the point-and-shoot level of photographic know-how.
