Fuji FinePix Drops World’s Smallest* Digicam
Thinking about taking your pics to the next level? Fuji’s 10-megapixel FinePix S1000fd gives you the chance to manipulate the f-stops and shutter speeds like pro shooters to craft your images. So what if you ninety percent of the people who buy it just leave the camera on automatic? Even if you treat the Fuji the same way a soccer mom treats her SUV and never take it for an off-road spin you can still talk a big game. The four-inch wide, 11.5-ounce frame makes it the world’s smallest camera with a 12X optical zoom. Better get the Fuji when it ships in April, you’ll probably be able to use that line for six months. FinePix S1000fd, $250, www.fujifilmusa.com

Miami Girls Spit Sexy
When Peter Dean Rickards isn’t taking pictures of BANKSY or causing other trouble in Jamaica, he’s out of country shooting really hot women and tending to his Afflicted Yard. Recently the photographer landed in Miami and caught up with some sexy girls that like to play with dogs, wear vampire teeth, and spit juice. A man of a few words, he sent us an email with the subject line: Drunk In Miami. Well of course that caught our attention quick fast and so we picked a few of our favorites to publish here, but we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t point ya’ll to his full gallery. Jump for more Miami heat, but we have to warn ya that some of these pics are NSFW. However, since they were done in the name of “high fashion,” you might be able to justify scoping them, even in the office.

‘Tennis Girl’ Is A Smash
We’ve never been huge fans of tennis, but have always been suckers for those cute little skirt-shorts the ladies wear. Even more so, when they go commando, as shown in this infamously popular poster known simply as ‘Tennis Girl.’ It apparently was a huge hit in the 1970’s, and sold over 2 million copies. Well, what’s old is new again, and the poster is back, this time being sold as a limited edition canvas print for about $600 a pop. The photo was snapped by Martin Elliott back in 1976 and it features his then 18 year-old girlfriend Fiona Butler. Ironically, she couldn’t even play tennis and they even borrowed the racquet and balls for the photo shoot.

Photographer Proves Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Fashion photographer Nic Stinghe may not have a lot to say over email, but his photos more than make up for his lack of words. He often sends us photos with absolutely no context, background or explanations, making it hard to decipher what the hell we’re looking at, but in this case, it was easier: hot models posing for a photo shoot. The subject line was simple too: Chloe et Justine. Out of what seemed like hundreds of shots that he sent, we edited it down to one we liked the best (hint: the ones where the models are wearing as little clothes as possible). Check out his website and MySpace to see some of his other projects. In the meantime, enjoy some more modeling after the jump (a little NSFW).

Fashion Photographers Love Their Jobs
Fashion photographer Mikael Vojinovic decided to rub our faces in how much better his job is than ours. We’ve already let our envy be known, but he’s got no scruples and once again he pointed us towards his latest shoot which is just amazing. A man of little words, the email was empty but the subject line held it all: LOOK AT KAT AT nakedambitions.blogspot.com. In a similar fashion we will simply say the same, Go look at Kat.

Haggis Never Looked So Good
Normally when we think of Haggis, images of plucked sheep hearts and livers dance through our head. That was, until we ran across Haggis Chick, an upcoming amateur photographer who’s setting Flickr ablaze. This sultry Scottish photographer has been posting erotic photos of herself on the photo sharing site since 2006 and has amassed almost 300k views already (one of her photos brought in 50k hits on its own). Although she claims she’s shy, you couldn’t tell by her alluringly sexy self- portraits, which have attracted quite a devoted fan base. Even her bizarro clone and multiplicity flicks are hot. Whenever she posts new photos, the commenters start commenting and everyone wants her in their Flickr group. So we contacted the bashful exhibitionist and asked ‘Joanne’ (we’re on a first name basis only) to answer some questions and let us publish some of our favorite picks of the litter (some NSFW). She gingerly agreed and told us a little bit about her first time, the shock of the attention, and what we can look forward to in the future:

Veggie Porn Keeps Us Fresh and Green
Ah the wonderful world of Flickr. You never know what you’re going to find, like these collection of photos from Jeneyepher. This natural redhead is a photographer, artist, exhibitionist, and a vegetable molester. One of her latest self-portrait styled shoots involved cucumbers and was compiled to create the Veggie Porn Collage which is really not as pornographic as it is gross. But go check out her photos for yourself, and delve into her profile, some of which sheds some light on her fascination with produce:
I wanted to be a string bean when I was a little girl.
And now she just doesn’t want to rot.

Summer Job Hunting: Alaskan Fisherman
Artsy website, FecalFace, has a great feature detailing every young man’s summer dream job: How To Be An Alaskan Fisherman. This first hand account by photographer and Deadliest Catch star Corey Arnold is pretty wild. He provides an amazing snapshot of what it takes to do a job like this and definitely dispels all the romantic myths that go with it:
I’m happy to share a few secrets here and clear up some common misconceptions. I’ll set this informative story to the tune of some recent snapshots from the 4 months I’ve spent working in Alaska since October… but I’ll also throw in some from the “old days” when it all began.
So check out the amazing photos, learn some tips for scoring one of the most dangerous occupations there is, and see what other “torturous” jobs you might be able to pick up with your newfound experience and wisdom. Coal mining in Svalbard actually sounds sublime.

Online Hipster Party Universe
At some point or another while clicking through the internets, you may have come across some of our favorite party photographers like The Cobrasnake, Last Night’s Party, MisShapes, and Ambrel. They’re responsible for documenting the wild partying antics and equally eccentric fashion trends stemming out of the Hipster liquor-infused nightlife scene. But these shutterbugs aren’t the only one snapping up pics of inebriated revellers. PSFK points us to a new site, 476ad.com, which is a sort of MySpace for party photos/social networking site that features photos from around the world. Sign up and get you’re own gallery and before you know it, you too can document scandalous party-goers in your circle and if you’re really lucky, maybe Alex Blagg will rip on your photos too.

Graffiti Writers To Deuce Seven: ‘Go Home Snitch’
photos: Bucky Turco
Check out this crossed out and tagged over Deuce Seven spotted last night in Billyburg. While some might naively suspect that writing ‘Snitch’ over Deuce’s work is simply backlash from haters, others might claim there’s always a little truth to every rumor, and after spotting this comment on Razor Apple, and seeing countless ‘Snitch’ related scrawls, we can only hope that in this case the adage is wrong. Still others blame it on a childhood friendship gone bad.
In other bad news for the Deuce that is sure to get All City’s graffiti stained panties in a bunch, the colorful face that adorned the Williamsburg Bridge has been buffed back down to bare ass metal. You can actually read the plaque again for the first time in months, but the clock is ticking and it should retain its vandalistic purpose any minute now. See evidence of the faceless, temporarily graffiti-free nameplate after the jump. Photo taken: 8pm.
