Ok.  My hubby can have his new Xbox 360.  Can I play dress up with it?  Amelia would be thrilled with a Hello Kitty Xbox!

Ok... I was drawn to this unique style of photographs.  No, these are not digitally altered.  The photographer captured this image by tossing his camera!  A small but prolific group of photographers on flickr are now tossing their cameras, and creating some great images. 

I had to read more about the technique, and I even considered trying it.  But I don't trust myself to catch several thousand dollars of camera after I toss it! 

From their flickr group:

DEFINING A CAMERA TOSS (and some tips)

- Hands free. Your hands may not be on the camera during the majority of the exposure. Most often that means throwing it, but there are a few exceptions, you'll just have to be creative.

- Experimenting with timers and remote triggers highlly encouraged.

- Good catching skills or construction of camera crash nets/pads/bungees/shells highly suggested for high dollar cameras.

- For the most dangerous attempts, use of a very cheap digital or disposable film camera suggested, because they are a cheap investment and pretty indestructible.

- Use of tripods, for reasons of your personal well-being, is highly discouraged. ;)
