If you're a photographer in training who likes to travel light, how about a nice deck of playing cards that doubles as a cheat sheet for your picture taking. That's exactly what showed up on a Kickstarter funding appeal a couple days ago and made its target of $1122 in 30 minutes.

I wanted to do something special for Pam's birthday and I knew she needed a good case for her new iPhone. Turns out there are many case makers who offer customization so the task is finding one that offers the case features you like with the photo customization options that fit your creative style.

I've always liked postcards. They're one of those simple things in life that are at once trivial and priceless. I exchanged weekly mailings with Pam when we were dating across the country.
