Colette Fisheye
by Ami Kealoha
Viennese purveyors of photo-artistry, Lomo, have teamed up with Parisian concept shop pioneers, Colette, to make a black version of Lomo's Fisheye camera featuring Colette's doggy mascots, Caperino and Peperone, on the back. The convex lens means a 170-degree field of view that creates distorted pictures using standard 35mm film. The Colette version, available for $65 exclusively from Colette and Lomo, comes with the latest release of Colette's CD mixes, no. 7, that includes 31 dance tracks on two discs.
AfterModern: Out of Doors
by Ami Kealoha
AfterModern, a new gallery in San Francisco's up-and-coming South Park neighborhood (conveniently nearby the SFMOMA) launched with an inaugural exhibition last Saturday called "Out of Doors." Curated by Busy Being founder Amber Abramson, 27, who formerly headed up Los Angeles gallery and store, four x four, the show takes the outdoors as its theme. A line-up of mostly California-based artists, such as HunterGatherer, Deanne Cheuk, and Kozyndan, bring their pastoral works to the space through January 28th.

How to Make {Almost} Everything
by Ami Kealoha
From the original ReadyMakers themselves (founders Shoshana Berger and Grace Hawthorne) comes this new book full of the same kind of clever, well-designed projects that have earned ReadyMade props from the National Magazine Awards and design snobs alike. An idea-well of projects includes a Moss-worthy glass water bottle chandelier (pictured after the jump) to instructions that suggest readers cut a window in the cover and personalize it with a photo. ReadyMade's irreverent sense of humor and originality make the book a handy resource that's a good read to boot. Combined with a subscription, How to Make {Almost} Anything is a perfect gift for tinkerers on your list.
Available for $25 from ReadyMade (first 100 copies come autographed and include six limited edition magnets) or Amazon.
