Ready to throw yourself in a heap across the finish line of yet another decade? Say goodbye to the Nads and hello to the Tweens with our roundup-roundup: the best photos of 2009 as chosen by experts at Time, National Geographic, Billboard, and more. Of course, it’s fun to reminisce about Twitpics of planes on the Hudson, or to imagine that there could have been life before Glee. But it’s even more fun to imagine the photo-ops that await us in the new year. Your mission: Say a proper goodbye to 2009, and go make two-thousand-and-awesome the best photo year yet! The Best Roundups of the Best Photos of 2009 |

Coaxing together some duct tape, cardboard, and a disassembled laser, lens-hacker Bhautik Joshi presided over the marriage of a big fat SLR lens and an iPhone. Despite looking a bit like a hippo riding a skateboard, the “Phone-O-Scope” yields an attractive mix of low-fi digital grain and classy SLR-style depth of field. Even better: it’ll work on any cameraphone. Next up: attaching a telephone booth to a point-and-shoot. How to Attach an SLR Lens to Your Cameraphone p.s. Today’s Photojojo brought to you by our pals at Animoto. We loved their automatic, pro-quality animated slideshows two years ago. They’ve come a long way. |

They’ll save you a stamp, a couple bucks, and a trip to Hallmark. But it’s not just the thought that counts. If you’ve simply waited too long to send a real card this year, we’ve got your back. ElfYourself, the grand daddy of upload-your-photo-and-make-yourself-look-completely-ridiculous, has returned! Upload a photo of yourself (and now, up to four others) and they’ll create a thoroughly embarrassing, thoroughly entrancing, dance video featuring you. No, it’s still not a real card. But it’ll make you (and your family or coworkers) look ridiculous enough to earn a chuckle, and that may be enough to make ‘em forget. ;-) p.s. Apologies to the Photojojo crew members that were omitted from these sample videos… and to those that weren’t. |

Another holiday morning after: You come to wearing a lampshade, mistletoe strewn everywhere, lying on a four-foot-high pile of empty airplane-size liquor bottles. You’ll never remember that party, but at least you can remember the aftermath. Turn those baby booze bottles to bauble: fill them with photos and hang them on your tree. Who to enshrine in your miniature snowglobe wonderland? How about:
Who knows? Maybe next year you’ll have learned your lesson. (Yeah, right.) Read on to learn how to make ‘em. Happy Chrismukkawanzaa everybody! Make Your Own Snowglobe Ornaments for Chrismukkawanzaa! p.s. There’s still time to order best-selling photo goodies from the Photojojo Store.

Take one part Boston.com’s Big Picture, one part This American Life, and one part Laura Brunow Miner. Simmer for 8 months. The result? Pictory. Launched last night by the former Editor-in-Chief of JPG Magazine, Pictory is a photo magazine, re-imagined for the web. The mission: Tell the best stories with photos. Her formula is simple — anyone can submit a picture and a story, and the best are featured in lush photo essays. The first essay and interview only whet our appetite for what’s to come. This one’s worth a bookmark. We mean it. Pictory: The Photo Magazine, Re-imagined |
