1 Man Show


In this day and age where people show their social engagements and happenings by downloading pictures to online sites such as Flickr, Facebook, and MySpace, making sure to document your night with the use of a camera seems to be a must. Anymore, it's a normal part of social decorum to ask someone to take a picture of your friends and you, and then return the favor by taking one for them. Everyone wants to have their fun night life and adventures documented and then shared online, but the trick is getting people to take the picture for you.

Unless you love interrupting people's conversations and daily lives to request their photog skills (and most likely explain to them how to use your camera) the alternate route is taken. This usually entails taking an awkard photo of you and your friends at your own arm's length. Often times a zoomed in picture of your nose and ear is the best you can hope for since you can't see if you are centered or not.

With this in mind, I recently became aware of a technology that serves to mend this awkward dilemma. The Samsung DualView Camera with a 1.5" front LCD screen, as well as a screen in back, lets you get out from behind the camera and get in the shot. You are able to perfectly frame yourself and take the picture!
