Review: Fade resistance test – Pixinfo.com

Pixinfo.com checks out several current photoprinters to see whose prints last the longest.

by way of Music Thing

Come to Dark Roasted Blend for the weird music scores, but stay for the equally weird pictures of strange tanks and a lot more fun and interesting imagery. Not really a resource for imags themselves, but definitely a resource for creative inspiration. I often poke over there when I’m trying to find new ideas. Just looking at their collections of pictures recharges my batteries and gives me ideas.

This is cute. Not insanely featured, but a nice proof of concept for Flex. Maybe ’cause I write image processing code for a living, these things are really interesting to me. This would be a great Apollo shareware app. I also like that they are in Seattle. Maybe the local startup market is improving.

Like John Nack, I am super into constructivist-era photomontage. I was super excited to find out that We Make Money Not Art had a gallery up on Flickr!
