Reddit mentions: The best photography storage materials

Some ideas that have worked well for me/others:

Aging Parents - Kind of expensive (fluctuates a ton) but if you have a parent with a ton of photos who talks about scanning them all in someday, this scanner is fantastic. I have the older version and it's literally so easy to use that even my mom and dad could figure it out when I let them borrow it. Not a great bulk doc scanner but exactly what you need for photos. Pair with a case like this to store the originals in and you've done a great deed.

Newlyweds- If they don't have specific interests, a picnic blanket goes over well. I have the one linked and it's nice for the cheap price. Pair with some wine, maybe some other picnic accessories. I'm also giving a minted gift for a custom designed print for wedding photos to my brother/new sister-in-law.

Teens- Move beyond the selfie stick - some phone lenses go a long way, get a self timer for the phone, or a PowerCore. The powercore isn't sexy but super loved by all. I usually hit up BaubleBar or Sephora for deals too.

Handyman- I shoved this cheap light in my husband's stocking last year and he loves it. It's super handy.

Homebody- This is out of stock in the best size right now but it always comes back in. It is the softest blanket ever, doesn't shed, and we bought them for every room of the house.

Dog- What dog doesn't love bully sticks? A good deal, really good quality and my dogs have loved them.

On my wishlist- A milk frother, The Food Lab cookbook, a magnetic pincushion, maybe some Ugg slippers, a bunch of Etsy art and Essie gel couture nail polish. Debating a special purchase for myself with a bonus I received, I'm thinking a camera for a big trip coming up if I can find the right holiday deal.

• 8' Posters are a sign of expression for me. I never was allowed to decorate my wall spaces, so this is a sign of freedom and one of the ways I started accepting myself for who I truly am. Like my transgender friend, she started painting her nails as a sign of the first steps to change from male to female. Its not that much different. I denied myself putting shit on my walls for ages because my parents did not let me to do, and its a small step towards achieving a large goal - publishing a book and TED talks. In many ways, this mundane poster, is r/motivational to me, not those shallow quotes.
  
  
• 9' Not only that, paper holds meaning to me. Its small, it doesn't take up so much space, easily portable. Its everything describing me - LEAN and minimalistic. Just well done infographic posters in general remind me that technology is great and all, but nothing beats good ol' paper sometimes. Like I'm not a big fan of http://www.amazon.com/NIX-Advance-Hi-Res-Digital-Motion/dp/B015XVAKG4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462545980&sr=8-1&keywords=digital+photo, I rely too much on my PC as it is and run 15 programs, that shit would give me PTSD of seeing too many digital goods. I need a balance of old school shit
  
  EDIT: Also, I associate monitors with getting shit done not appreciating the artwork. Its why I don't bother /r/rainmeter my shit on my PC, setting backgrounds, etc. Dead silence has always kept me focused, so has minimalism
  
  My point is, to an unobserved eye, it looks like a piece of shit diagram that cost $9. Yes I am aware of what the true cost of making that poster is, its about $1, shipping is indeed about $3 from what I remember from USPS. Whoever printing poster makes about $4, after Amazon takes its cut. For me, its much more than that. One mans trash is another mans treasure [QUOTE1], an old proverb. That's what it is. Nothings trash in my mind, I see the value of notes, because all my notes were shit growing up, and I regret my handwriting is awful as hell too, and I wish I took better notes
  
  So, when you say "Oh why would you waste so much money, stop hoarding" you are looking at the shallowest level possible. Its why, you should never argue with people in relationships with your S.O. about spending hobby-related shit. You don't understand crafting, fashion design, sewing like they do. Or beer making, and buying a $2000 machine, that shit is beyond you, you wouldn't understand the thrills of making beer unless you yourself made some. You have to understand, that people have different VALUE = PERCEIVED BENEFITS (mostly this)/ PERCEIVED COST. This goes back to marketing, it goes back to lots of things
  
  This goes all the way back to everything I taught myself in guild wars 1. I realize that I have much more metrics than your average person which means I also have more spending habits for useless shit in general, because, I NEED to pool my thoughts into objects (amazon remembers my order history too, so that helps if i lose shit - granted double edge sword, now they know everything about me, w.e).
  
  Also I don't buy shit right away. I put it on my wishlist and have it sit in my mind for at least a month to decide whether I Really want it or not, whether I am impulsive buying or not. Sometimes I impulsive buy regardless out of sheer convenience of not having to remember to buy it later. Its like how when you make emotional relationship decisions, people on reddit say rub one off. Same shit.
  
  More often times I'll go "I wish I bought that wishlist item" so now it just reinforces me to go buy it even more, strengthening that PMT. Same reason I bought a polaroid printer, I wanted to appreciate all the changes I made to my monsterdesk^2 over time. Its important to reward yourself
  and take breaks for everything you do. I went a tad bit overboard playing OVERWATCH for 6 hours yesterday, fuck me, I should be really tired but this post gives me energy
  
  My point is seek to understand before opening your mouth. Don't assume you know anything about anything. [QUOTE1]. To the unobserved eye , it seems like I am exhibiting hoarding/poor control over my purchasing behavior, but you do not see the instrinsic value of what I do. You don't understand how long denied my thought processes were, and the effects of merging two giant large identities together and its effect on my brain,I CANNOT STOP THINKING, sometimes, so even a mundane poster, like whitespace in catalogs, helps clear my thoughts. I treat my purchases all as long term investments, not short term
  
  Also , this is why the app https://momentumdash.com/ is so popular. Same concept. "Breath of fresh air" people say. I don't like it though. Not 4 me.

  Hypnosis - Its effect on the brains + Sleeping
  

  
  

• I think my idea rate is churning off a bit, probably cause I slept like shit this whole week. For some odd reason, I don't know if its null data, I've been getting a significantly spike in the number of dreams I normally get upon writing this post. I do not understand this phenonem yet
  
  
• Upon my theory I believe that VMT's unexhausted are what form dreams, but do not consist of the dream state at all. Weird. I also looked up dream theories, just now, on http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/dream1.htm and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oneirology. Just a brief look through indicates there's no conclusive well vetted theory out there upon dreams, some of goes back to Freudian. I could look further, but I have a suspicion that wikipedia is right on this topic and do not want to look further. For now, there's something interesting about mem and my case study, because I underwent such large merging on social identities these past 10 weeks, that I can analyze myself a bit deeper than other people. Probably
  
  
• Also, dreams do last seconds apparently and under 30 minutes . I can attest to some of those. Should that be true, why is it I feel like my dreams are near the time I wake up? Why do some dreams feel rather short, but are really long duration in reality? Not sure. There's also 5 sleeping stage cycles as well, I'll cover that another time
  
  
• HYPNOSIS. I don't really quite understand this phenonem. Actually I do think I can tie this back into VMT and PMT analysis. The thing is, [PREDICTABLE STATIC PMT] (reddit UI, boring lecture) doesn't really drive as much VMT processes as [UNPREDICTABLE DYNAMIC PMT][QUOTE1] (Reddit frontpage content, fun physics professor demos). In many ways, stale boring content[PREDICTABLE STATIC PMT] drives you to sleep, because its too predictable but [UNPREDICTABLE DYNAMIC PMT] makes you tired because it takes more energy to keep up with
  
  

  Hypnosis - 7 hours of OVERWATCH
  

  
  

• In many ways, me browsing reddit at night is essentially what HYPNOSIS IS, but HYPNOSIS occurs much more quicker than what I do on reddit. Some people do this by watching TV to fall asleep, and there have been studies here, its a double edged sword and shouldn't be used like sleeping pills / caffeine - use it when you really need it
  
  
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdr68Oq-hew. This is how I fell asleep yesterday after playing 7 hours of OVERWATCH yesterday. When I play for such long streams of time at a time, it has a profound effect on my mind. More in a bit
  
  
• That video, it exhibits both [PREDICTABLE STATIC PMT] and [UNPREDICTABLE DYNAMIC PMT]. In this sense, what happens is that , in optical illusions, our brain is trying to fill in information that's not there. Like this example from INCEPTION (I mentioned this movie a lot, go watch it, its how I named a lot of my terms too , such as RAPID FEEDBACK-CEPTION because its more descriptive than "ultralearning" from scotth young). Anyways,shit. Okay. Back to that video in question https://youtu.be/Rhw9BxBDvzk?t=47. What happens with optical illusions like these, is that your brain is constantly applying VMT on this PREDICTABLE STATIC PMT [you know what the content is already] but UNPREDICTABLE DYNAMIC PMT, sort of? in the sense that your brain is trying to fill in the gaps. I may have to revisit my descriptions, this is one specific example where its too difficult to explain PREDICTABLE STATIC PMT vs UNPREDICTABLE DYNAMIC PMT
  
  
• OR is it? Videos by default are DYNAMIC STATIC PMT, but what about generally Boring youtube videos, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogY44aX5pHU.
  
  
• Revisiting everything I wrote. I wrote down that UNPREDICTABLE DYNAMIC PMT can drive learning very well, but STATIC PREDICTABLE PMT can drive you into boredom and lull you into sleep. That much people can agree on. But, what the fuck is an hypnotic illusion then? OVerall, its PREDICTABLE STATIC PMT...... BUT its DYNAMIC PMT isn't it?
  
  
• What would happen exactly, if you turned off the audio on that video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdr68Oq-hew. I said that learning, there's always one primary sense, and I have strong logical conclusions to indicate this is correct. Would it have the same effect?
  
  
• Am I not defining a terminology that needs to be defined at the subconcious level? s-PMT? I defined s-VMT compared to VMT, what about s-PMT and PMT?
  
  
• What the fuck would that even be? Aren't I defining something missing..? What is PMT? PMT is physical memory tags, essentially sort of like tags in evernote, tagging peoples faces on facebook, its essentially how you correlate things into your head using the 5 senses (for most people its mostly visual). VMT is random thought process, s-VMT is INSTINCTS essentially (ANIMAL+HUMAN), what's s-PMT?
  

Four steps, really.

1. Identify the problem area. If you can do this, you can move on. Shoes laying all over? Clothing on the floor constantly? Overflow of hair products? You need to notice the problems before you can fix them. Make a list of these areas and tackle them one by one.
   
   
2. Purge what isn't 110% essential. Because extra crap makes your life that much harder. Be ruthless.
   
   
3. Come up with an organizational plan for the area. So maybe you need a shoe shelf, or some clear little boxes for your makeup. Everything needs to have a home. Going to places like Bed Bath and Beyond or Home Depot/Lowes can be super helpful in getting ideas of how to physically organize stuff. My favorite organizational tools are: photo boxes, wicker boxes or buckets, and plastic bins of many shapes and sizes. Label everything, that way you don't have to dig through multiple boxes to find stuff. This step honestly takes a fair bit of monetary investment, but the return is just huge mentally.
   
   

4. Make a habit out of being organized/tidy. At first this is super hard, but once you get rolling, it's incredibly rewarding and decreases your stress level by about a hundred-fold. It was suggested to me by my ADHD coach to make a schedule for doing things, but it turned out to be easier for me to just do things as I saw them- the trick for me was to ACTUALLY do them.
   

   
   

   Let me know if you want more info or help! I LOVE organizing now! It's such an incredible feeling to be in control of your life.

If you have no idea what you want for yourself, consider buying gifts for family or friends. Remember how huge and awesome it was to get a 'big' gift like a video game as a child, and buy one or two for the kids in your social sphere. Or buy something good for your mum. Get her this digital photo frame -- fill it up with family photos in chronological order, starting with her childhood photos/her grandparents, her school photos, her wedding, your birth, your childhood, graduation, right up to a photo of you putting photos on the frame, and then photoshop in some "future" photos of her with a robot butler after that. Slap a note on it that says "Got a great bargain on this because the salesman said it had spooky powers" and give her a nice gift and a laugh.

Yeah i too collecting loose GB/C and Game Gear carts (GBA/PSP and occasional DS MUST be at least CIB). But after years of collecting you still end up with dozens of manuals from random lots and trades. I have manuals to some great games so I def want to capitalize on that. Your Binder idea is something that crossed my mind, but I have not come across any pocketed sheets that would fit the Gameboy sized manuals nicely... would be great though!

This may be another option, I use these for my Shepard Fairey Obey sticker collection and they're pretty high quality: https://www.amazon.com/Itoya-Profolio-Storage-Display-Book/dp/B0000AUR24/

I still petition you group your GBA with the DS =P

but either way that sounds like it'll be a fantastic looking shelf. Can't wait to see it!

I'd totally pay $7.95 for a hand painted card! If anything that seems on the low end of pricing! Any originals I don't sell for less than $50. Don't let one potential customer's remarks bring you down. I have an Epson XP-830, and I haven't had any problems with it yet. However I've heard to not update the firmware if you want to use a continuous ink system. I use whatever satin photo paper is on sale. I think I paid around $200 to get the printer, ink and paper to start. It has definitely paid for itself now. I like it because whenever I sell out of certain prints I can just restock them here at home, as opposed to ordering it out. That being said, I do a lot of art fairs so it gives me an opportunity to sell them pretty often.

​

I also purchase standard size mattes/backs/bags from amazon. I get two 5x7 prints per page, which brings my total cost per print to around $3-$4. I sell 5x7s for $15 or $20. I find matted prints to sell pretty well, and you don't have to worry about scratching up frames.

​

Sorry if that was a bit rambley! But let me know if you have any other questions! I think it's important for artists to help each-other out in any way they can :)

Have you considered using corner adhesives?
http://www.amazon.ca/3M-Scotch-Photo-Corners-Adhesive/dp/B000ELL2A2

I haven't used them, but it seems to me that there's glue only on the corners (that you can adhere to the photo sleeve), so they hold the photos without any glue.

You can find some at the dollar store to experiment before you commit to this method.

Hope it helps, good luck, and congratulations! :)

Very much like those! The ones I've used are a full triangle of clear, like this: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Scotch-Photo-Corners-Adhesive/dp/B000ELL2A2/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1410828467&sr=1-1

If you are in the states, you should be able to find them at any scrapbooking store. In Michaels or JoAnns they would be by the scrapbooking adhesives.

The corners are very secure. I mounted them on cardstock, then slipped them into a typical 12 x 12 scrapbooking sleeve type album. I did this ... in like 2005 or 2006 and the pictures haven't moved at all. And they are clear, so honestly they blend into the background. The pictures really do take center stage.

Laughing at myself for a bit right now, I should have taken pictures of what I did!!

Good luck with your project and holler back if you have any other questions.

Sometimes the easiest formats are the most effective. Here's one:

1. Purchase a nice portfolio/clamshell/presentation box and get fast shipping; these are sold on Amazon.
   
2. Source some really nice paper (or a good printer who will order something special for you) and print your very best work at a size to fit the case box. Either print full bleed, or I often prefer a wide, intentional edge (.75" or so depending on your final print size).
   
3. Print your name and contact info somewhere on each individual sheet, just in case. (The back works!) And remember this element should also be designed.
   
4. Create a title sheet with your name, info, personal logo (whatever is relevant) on it to sit on top of your portfolio sheets. If you're really in a hurry, this can be skipped.
   
5. That's it.
   
   A book is great, but a loose portfolio has a lot of advantages too, most especially that sheets can be shown side by side during the interview.
   
   Obviously, in a non-time crunch situation, you'd want to personalize the box itself and make the whole thing feel more special, but in terms of feeling 'together' in a hurry, it's hard to beat.

I worked for a guy that has done electronic design for decades and loved his system. He used boxes like these, but long and narrow, with dividers. He labeled each box A, B, etc. Each divider had a sub index.

​

He combined that system with a basic inventory software (he and his son wrote it, but I'm sure there are things available in OSS-land). He stored name, MFG #, vendor #, component type, value, quantity etc and made it all searchable. When he had a new part it could go (in it's original packaging) in any box with open space, you need only add it to the inventory system. Some extra IC-safe bags and sorts help with odd shaped packages -- like IC tubes.

​

I would build boards for him (design, manufacture on a CNC board miller) and it took about no time at all to find parts and build things. I love this system because it requires zero memory and is a direct lookup to where the part is in storage.

I'm currently unemployed. I have a lot of time to fill (you can only apply to so many jobs a day, you know) so I'm catching up on some of my hobbies I've let slide recently. One of them is scrapbooking, and I could use some more of these photo corners to secure my photos without gluing them down! I love them because if I want to take a photo out to scan or show someone, it's pretty easy.

Thanks for the contest and pay attention in class!

Get an archival grade portfolio from amazon. One 18X24 (most fit in this) and one bigger eventually. This will allow them to be stored flat and you can flip though it like a picture book when you want haha. This is the one I use https://www.amazon.com/Itoya-Profolio-Evolution-Storage-Display/dp/B000H7N4H2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=18x24+archival+portfolio&qid=1563215754&s=gateway&sr=8-1 and it’s been great.

If they are all about document size or smaller, you can buy an archival document box on amazon like this : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HAAJPQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They also come in other sizes. Just make sure it's archival. Then I would buy some buffered archival tissue and put a sheet in between each document in the box: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DPVJ1I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The photos may not need the buffered paper, but definitely for anything else. But I'd just use the buffered paper on photos too, it'd fine for them, just not necessary.

As for labeling, I'm always torn on how to do that too. I lean towards marking the item with something removable. I'd probably mark the back in pencil. That way it's on the object but is not permanent. If you want to permanently mark something, just a use pen with archival ink. They should be easy to find.

There are commercial products that can do that: http://www.amazon.com/Nixplay-Digital-Android-Facebook-Instagram/dp/B00J3TWQ8I
which are probably a better option as it will look much nicer.

But if I were to do something you've described I would setup an apache server ->fetch image attachments from an email and save to local folder -> create a webpage to fetch all images from folder and insert info slideshow -> modify Pi boot to run chromium and to start webpage with slideshow.

Lots of good services as people in the comments have mentioned. One thing I'd like to add is this little guy.

Sent it to my parents as an Early Christmas Present.

http://www.amazon.com/Nixplay-Digital-Android-Facebook-Instagram/dp/B00J3TWQ8I

My parents are super tech-illiterate and don't use smart phones. I generally send them emails with the baby photos, they see them in the email and then can never bring them up again.

This picture frame sits on their desk and I can control which photos it displays from a thousand miles away. Its synced to a dropbox folder so I just change the photos in that folder and voila their picture frame slide show updates. Really nice.

How To Flatten

First thing to do is get them out of their tubes. Inks can get old and will want to hold their shape. When you go to unroll the print, the ink may not want to unroll (this is worst case scenario, and takes a lot of time to happen). Lay them out, and try to get them to unroll a little on their own over them. Don't force them right away. Then you can use poster weights, or anything that won't damage the paper/ink, on the corners to flatten them further. You can put multiple posters on top of each other when doing this, but it is a good idea to put craft/tissue paper between them. Keep in mind that this process can take a couple weeks to months depending how how much they are rolled, and how long they have been rolled for. Don't try to roll them the other direction to quickly flatten them, you can run into all kinds of problems.

How To Store

I would start buy purchasing a portfolio to hold your posters. I got this one because it is cheap, acid free, and has all the space I need at the moment. There are others that zip up, and others that have rings so you can purchase/install more sleeves later. Another option is a flatfile drawer cabinet. These can be expensive, heavy, and take up a lot of space though. Either way, make sure your prints are properly flattened before you try to store them.

Edit: Just saw your post in Phish Prints on Facebook lol

Art boxes are usually around 3 or 4 inches. In my own experience, I haven't enjoyed things under the bed: either it just spread the clutter to under the bed, or if the things in it actually brought me joy, under the bed was the least convenient place for them. I use art boxes with holes cut on the back on top of dressers to hide networking equipment and personal electronics/chargers. As such, I matched the box to the dresser. Underneath, I might go with clear so it would be easier to tell what's in there with multiple boxes.

I've been "googling" since the mid-90's and had spent a fair amount of time searching for something that'll work, but didn't find any of your suggestions. Either my search-foo is horribly failing, or my impatience has grown exponentially with age.

Digital Foci Picture Porter 35 PPR-350 250 GB Digital Photo Manager with 3.5-Inch LCD Display looked perfect except it only supports 15MB/s CF cards.

The canon would seem mildly appropriate as he has a canon 40d, but 80G is on the low end. 100G+ is preferred.

At any rate, thanks for a good shove in the right direction, those were helpful suggestions. :)

Anyone knows where to get clear plastic pocket refills like this and this? Looking for the ones that can fit business cards or are able to place photos (any size) instead of the A4 paper kind which is sold in Popular.

There are different sizes of plastic PVC-free binder sheets you can buy. The standard 3x3 are perfect for photocards and the 2 pocket and 3 pocket ones are great for basically everything else.

Book - $11

Razor - $28

Brush - $7

Aftershave - $6

Soap - $7

Blades - $13 /100

Alum - $6

Box - $8


That is the setup OP has except a generally more popular aftershave scent, a different brush, and a block of alum that I find a little easier to use.

This is about $75 per person.

Edit: Personally I would probably go with /u/papander 's suggestion of Maggards. It is not what OP did, but Maggard's is a top notch retailer with really good product. For even less hassle just grab as many starter kits as you like, and add aftershave from walmart. You can't go wrong with any selection on the drop down lists as Maggards does not sell junk.

Heard good things about this one: Pix-Star 10.4 Inch Wi-Fi Cloud Digital Photo Frame FotoConnect XD with Email, Online Providers, iPhone & Android app, DLNA and Motion Sensor (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0056HNTAU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RySRCbGNC9YZ3

You just use the app or email them to the frame.

If you tend to buy a lot of posters at shows, but don't have the wall space or money to hang them, I recommend getting an art portfolio to keep them in. Keeps them flat, and it's easy to flip through. I have one full of prints, including one for every NIN show I've been to.

https://www.amazon.com/Itoya-Profolio-Evolution-Storage-Display/dp/B000H7N4H2/

I was actually thinking about this one: http://www.amazon.com/Microphones-Custom-Spider-Shock-Mount/dp/B00HL5WWHQ/ref=pd_bxgy_MI_text_y

Amazon says that is frequently bought with the PSA1, and it looks pretty good to me.

Similar thread here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PSP/comments/84koy6/anyone_know_where_to_get_a_binder_or_case_to_hold/

Some people use baseball/trading card binders, or photo/floppy disk organizers.

https://www.amazon.com/Print-File-Preservers-3-5x3-5-Inch-Prints/dp/B00DDTQFN6/

Alternatively, those 4/8 disc soft cases are super cheap and easy to find. Organize your collection into genre, alphabetical, most-used, whatever and split it up among multiple cases.

Well I bet you could combine IFTTT and a smart picture frame.

I'm somewhat certain that there are some picture frames out there that you can email with photos and it will load them because it's connected to WiFI.

In theory you could create an IFTTT task that you can initiate with Alexa that would then deliver the photo to you frame.

Here is a PhotoFrame that takes photo's by email.

I live in a place that has high humidity through the year. So I use a dry cabinet like this one to make sure my gear is protected - amazon.com link

LOL holy schnike, take in ALL the glory and cheers man, that was a hell of a snag! You should buy one of those animated picture frames and put it on your desk at work. Dominance asserted in the office.

I personally have the Rode PSA1 + a Blue Yeti Mic and the official Shock Mount "The Radius 2", and it holds everything perfectly.

A chest would be awesome! In my case I bought a 5 inch binder, 5x7 photo pages for the medium and small tiles, and regular page protectors to store the large tiles in(I have all the expansions same as you). I think I'll be be switching to a couple of 2" or 3" binders to make searching and sorting easier. The 5 inch binder is pretty full and I havn't even added Sanctum of Twilight or the upcoming Horrific Journey expansions yet.

To store and protect your work when displaying at your booth. The backing is basically cardboard. It should be strong, the same size as your work, and PH neutral. The bag should be a snug fit. It should should have a way to be sealed, either a flap with adhesive or you can tape. Here's a good selling bulk kit on Amazon

It's to protect your work during storage, transport, display, etc. It also adds a little professionalism compared to just selling a loose print. Discourage people from opening them and handling whats inside, the prints could wrinkle and matte will brown. You don't want to display them with wrinkles, if they're a little lose, add a fold and tape the back side.

I use a dry cabinet, keeps my cameras safe and dust free.

It's this one:

Blue Microphones Yeti and Yeti Pro Custom Spider Shock Mount https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HL5WWHQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wUKkzbZA3SKXD

I liked the footprint of this one way better than the more common one you find for the Yeti, I felt like this one allows you to get way closer to the mic.

I've sold at a farmers market before. Based on my experience, there are a few things i would suggest:

1. The most people are willing to spend is around $20. Even at that price point, people get a bit skittish.
   
2. The cheapest/nicest way to display prints that i've found is individually matted and bagged:
   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077EAOSU/ref=oh_details_o05_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
3. Display the prints individually, rather than in a big stack. Most people that walked by weren't willing to flip through the stack to find something they liked.
   
   All told, it was worth my time, but only just. I sold most of my prints for between $10 and $20. Over the course of 8 weeks i sold roughly 20 prints. I had around 15-20 different prints that i rotated through during the 8 weeks. The only things that i had go wrong were weather related. Being flat and light, prints can tend to blow away.
   
   Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, let me know.
   

I picked up this one, and it fit rather nicely
http://www.amazon.com/Microphones-Custom-Spider-Shock-Mount/dp/B00HL5WWHQ/ref=pd_ybh_9

I picked up one from a local Walmart. Generic cheap 2 ring binder.

And as for the manual size, there are different sized pages available. If the size difference is minimal, then they will likely fit in 5x7 pages like these.

I use these. If you put a large tile in the bottom pocket, you can still put a small tile in the top pocket and have it pretty visible.

That's sweat. Let me recommend something like this for the replacement photo.

Edit: *I meant 'sweet.'

There are frames out there that can grab a Flickr stream. IFTTT supports Flickr, so you could automatically add all photos to your Flickr stream and they frame would display them.

Edit: or get something like this, which has dropbox integration.

I use this shock mount on a broadcaster arm and it works wonderfully.

http://www.amazon.com/Microphones-Custom-Spider-Shock-Mount/dp/B00HL5WWHQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419451299&sr=8-1&keywords=blue+yeti+shock+mount

Honestly the sound of the typing isn't the real issue, but the issue is with the vibrations from it.

What I recommend is picking up a good shock mount for it as it will negate this issue (and also get whatever stand/boom you want to pick up. I use this stand since I don't have a place to anchor a boom)

Sadly that mount I have (which is solid metal) is no longer for sale.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HL5WWHQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There are plenty of other comparable ones however, just make sure it uses a standard 5/8inch thread.

One second google search lead me to this one which plays gifs. Looks like there are more/better options if you want it.

I keep my cards and pilot bases in binders:

• Pilots: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002XH8DV6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• Upgrades: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018OM5MGC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• Small bases: https://www.amazon.com/BCW-20-Pocket-Pages-Pocket-Size/dp/B002KDNAU2/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1479145791&sr=1-1&keywords=bcw+coin
  
  
• Large bases: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DDTQFN6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  The ships I actually keep on their bases and pegs, using the ID token holders on the bases to hold the chit for the maneuver dial and the actual maneuver dial (I'm using the dial upgrades: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/x-wing/products/imperial-maneuver-dial-upgrade-kit/). That way, when I want to fly a ship, I can just grab it off the shelf and I've already got the maneuver dial and the chit ready to go.

sleeves were from amazon:
Print File Preservers for 12 3.5x3.5-Inch Prints, Pack of 25 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DDTQFN6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kqoyCb44VKFE7

Holds 6 games perfectly, I'm using a 1.5inch binder which can for 5 full sleeves, went with that amount to avoid too much weight on the binder.

They exist. The trick would be to find one that is up to date and has good storage

Something along these lines

*edit - Here's a better one though I'm sure there has to be a more recent design out there...

Maybe some kind of Archos Media Player would fit the bill. Some models had sd card I believe and pretty large internal storage.

One last link. 500GB storage

And finally, you could always just get a shitty netbook and put the largest 2.5 hdd in it for dirt cheap.

Sure! This is the one I got. It's a little spendy, but it's totally worth it. I just have mine sitting on my desk with the mount instead of a stand. You could add rubber feet or something to keep it from scratching if you need.

I have quite a few (20+ I think). Do you mean something like this? http://www.amazon.com/BCW-2-Pocket-Archival-Storage-Binder/dp/B003FZDFI6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365382028&sr=8-1&keywords=pro-2t+postcard

What about those digital picture frames with built in wifi? Something like this

https://www.etsy.com/listing/526823447/frame-included-mothers-day-gift-idea?ref=shop_home_active_1

This was the frame I just got her for Mother's Day. The person who makes it on Etsy made and shipped it pretty quickly!

The digital photo frame I got her was this one on Amazon, it's a bit pricy but I thought it was worth it since it's the only frame I could find that you could set up an email address and send pics directly to the frame. She is not the best with technology so it's nice that she doesn't have to load the pictures on by herself, everyone in the family has the email address and just sends photos directly to the frame.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0056HNTAU/

Maybe try something like this, you gotta find it in the right dimensions though.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H7N4H2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I just did a quick google search so I dunno if that's what you are looking for.

something like this might work: http://www.amazon.com/Microphones-Custom-Spider-Shock-Mount/dp/B00HL5WWHQ

the boom arm you where thinking of should work.

Something like this?

Why not just use a 4x6 portfolio? Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Itoya-Profolio-Storage-Display-Book/dp/B0000AUR24/

Looks like they make digital frames you connect to wifi and can upload photos from anywhere

http://www.amazon.com/Nixplay-Digital-Android-Facebook-Instagram/dp/B00J3TWQ8I

2 pocket pages! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003FZDFI6/r


There are 3 pocket pages that have 4x6 pockets, but I disliked that they were not all the same direction. Also, bonus, two sided means my 16 page pockets have the class cards for the figures (with 2 double pockets).

I'm on mobile, so forgive the utter lack of formatting. I was looking for a zipper, three ring binder, a spot of graph paper pads, and big enough pockets so I didn't have to squeeze things in and out. See below for what I got.

The portfolio: K.DESIGNS- Zippered Leather... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y48BBKG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The sleeves:
Full page: 200-Pack Standard (Not Economy)... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077S6Z6MS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Frame that plays GIFs

I use a noise gate and Reaper, software to
clean up the sound in almost realtime. It's still not
enough though. My mic sits on my desk since
I don't have a microphone arm yet. It's on a spider shock mount that
keeps it from picking up the thump of each key, but nothing seems to stop the sound of each key coming back up.

The mic isn't actually the problem - you need a shock mount, something like this although if you have a different microphone you might need a different type.

On a budget. (just convert the gif to mpeg4)

If you have children and grandchildren- a digital photoframe that can be added to via email by family (if you give them the address): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0056HNTAU

https://www.amazon.com/Pix-Star-Digital-FotoConnect-Providers-Android/dp/B0056HNTAU

first hit with "Wifi nas picture frame"

Why does it need to be android? Admittedly, this is a bit more than $50, at what $100? $120? Same basic idea, but not android, just has a wifi connection.

You could just buy one...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056HNTAU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HL5WWHQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

currently they do not make it anymore

They have photo corners

You could do it with the scrapbook corner sticker things.

These would work. You would only need two per picture to keep it in place!

You could get him a memory card viewer / transfer device.

etc. etc. etc.

You're right, I don't think I've seen them with touch screen. If you found this one in a smaller size, I guess it would be nearing $100-$120. Has an app at least.

I've seen others mention https://www.amazon.com/Print-File-Preservers-3-5x3-5-Inch-Prints/dp/B00DDTQFN6/ as an option.

• Epson makes a few, including the P-4000
  
  
• Digital Foci Picture Porter
  
  
• Sanho Hyper Drive Colorspace
  
  For those prices you could get:
  
  
• Archos 70 250GB tablet; you could surf the web and check your email, too. I assume you'd need a card reader, though.
  
  EDIT: B&H has a whole page of these devices.

Mind sharing a link to your mic stand? Also, I found a different mic shock mount for the yeti because I didn't like how wide their official one was - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HL5WWHQ/ref=pe_385040_128020140_TE_3p_dp_1

I think it was this one, but it was 3 years ago that I bought it so I don't actually remember lol

It's a Rode PSA1 arm with this shock mount

I didn't like the look of the Radius shock mount from Blue.

Here you go! They work pretty well together, but the connection from the boom to the shock mount used a plastic screw that is a little loose.
