MOSQUITO, A CD of Mosquito Tone Recordings

A CD has been launched on the market composed of songs that use "mosquito tone", that sound only people under 20-years old can hear. It’s an album just for young people.

  Have you ever heard of mosquito tone? It’s a high-pitched sound that’s similar to the buzzing noise mosquitos make. They say this tone is rather annoying for people under 20 but, the older you get, the less you hear it. At about age 20, you start finding it harder to hear and, by the time you’re over 30, it’s almost impossible to distinguish.

In Japan, they use mosquito tone to keep teenagers away from parks and parking lots so they won’t cause a raucous and bother the neighbors.

Repurposed Polaroid Camera Bookends

Your old and unusable Polaroid camera could take on a new life if you’d just put a pair of legs on it and put it on your shelf. That’s how these bookends were made.
Polaroid cameras aren’t just for taking pictures, they can also hold books in place
Polaroid cameras aren’t just for taking pictures, they can also hold books in place
  Polaroid fans refuse to allow this photographic camera to disappear from our lives. They’ve tried it all: from creating a web page dedicated to "saving Polaroid", to creating software that generates images imitating the Polaroid’s style.

However the charm of snapshots photos taken in 4 steps, shoot-develop-wait-observe, seems to be slowly disappearing. The film is no longer manufactured and today’s digital cameras are small, compact and cheap.

  No doubt you’ve played at drawing in the air by moving a lit cigarette or a flashlight around in the dark. The result is an almost magical light composition. Yet it’s so ephemeral that it loses all its charm. Imagine recreating this scene and being able to photograph your compositions?
