\nCan’t wait until you get home to add some novelty effects to your photographs? Have I got a product for you! These Photo Paddles are essentially just bits of transparent plastic with props mounted in them — lips, sunglasses, a nice big mustache, that sort of thing. Cheesy, yes, but possibly <\/em>entertaining.<\/p>\n

They’ve actually been around for quite a while (they were created for a design show last year) but they’re now available for purchase more easily than by . $6 each seems a bit steep (you could probably make your own for far less), and I can’t figure out how to get any of the sunglasses ones (“Howdy”?), but hey. It’s art, it’s not supposed to make sense.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind these won’t work if you have any depth of field at all. The creator <\/a>instructs you to use them with your camera phone, which seems like sound advice, though if you have a fancy autofocus <\/em>camera phone, you might have trouble.<\/p>\n
