New to the Must-Have family is Diana’s litle sister, the Diana Baby 110 that released today for $59. Some features include its pocketable miniature size, its two interchangeable lenses (a 12mm Ultra wide & standard 24mm), and a PC-Socket for late night fun. It goes without saying that it takes 110 film, so why not try Lomo’s new Orca 110 B&W film.

The Brooklyn-based In The Seam makes a host of cool canvas pillows, but their camera ones are the coolest.

Gunther Holtorf has been on an amazing 23-year world-wide journey with his main partner, a Mercedes Benz G Wagen effectionately called “Otto” since 1989 (when the Berlin wall fell). What’s so amazing about Gunther is not only his drive to travel (he’s logged over 500,000 miles), but that he’s captured the landscape and people so amazingly along the way. Throughout this journey he’s carried two old Leica film cameras and has stayed away from most modern technology.
