Researchers in panda costumes perform a physical exam on a 6-month-old panda cub at the Wolong Giant Panda Reserve Centre in China in February 2011. The cub, born to a captive panda mother, was the first captive-bred cub to be reintroduced to the wild. The researchers dressed as pandas so the cub wouldn’t begin to identify with humans.

- What: Fujifilm Instax MINI 7s :: White Instant Film Camera
- Where: Amazon
- When: October 6th
- Why: You are just as bummed as I am about the demise of Polaroid, and although Lady Gaga is working to bring the instant film classic back, you know that I need something for the mean time.
I love this photo by Paul Outerbridge from the 1950s. He was an early experimenter of color photography - he really pushed colors and tones. His photos are stunning.
