This year marks National Geographic Traveler’s 25th annual photo contest, which invites amateurs to submit their best snaps for review by the mag’s venerable photo editors. Last night, the winners were revealed in all their high-res glory.

So, this stinks. Instagram is now deleting all images uploaded through the popular Windows Phone 8 app Instance—even though there still isn’t an official Instagram app for WP8.

Photography is like anything else in life; there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it. It just so happens, though, that in this case the wrong way yields way more satisfying results. Matthew Cetta has made striking photographs by abusing his film with everything from absinthe to turpentine. And you can’t tear your eyes away.

Have you ever been to California? You should try it. Sure there are the beaches and the national parks and the movie stars and the big red bridge. There’s also the delightful consequence of near-perfect weather all year round. Stuff just doesn’t rust. Even when it rains.

From New Year’s Eve 2012 to New Year’s Day 2013, Facebook users uploaded 1.1 billion photos. Which is something absurd like two photos per active user. But don’t think that people haven’t always been people. Even before smartphones and digital cameras, consumers were out there taking a lot of stupid photos just for fun. And given how relatively resource intensive it was for people to own cameras, buy film, and develop photos it’s pretty amazing to see how many prints came out of "the old days." Enter The Photo Man.

If you enjoyed Windows 8’s central Photos app that not only stored your local images but also those from other sites, you might be disappointed with Windows 8.1, if a post in Microsoft’s forums is any indication. After a commenter noticed that Facebook and Flickr integration was gone, one of Redmond’s employees said it was no longer necessary since other apps (including one arriving soon from Facebook) can now do that, unlike when Windows 8 was first launched. The spokesperson added that Microsoft “welcome(s) Flickr to do the same” and recommended the People app as another way to “socially engage” with your photos. Subsequent commenters felt differently, with one summing up the sentiment by saying the OS was moving backwards from its Hub pinnings and “forc(ing) you to be app-centric (like Android or iOS) instead of content-centric.”

Snapjoy has announced that it’ll be shuttering all of its services a mere six months after being acquired by cloud colossus Dropbox. In a blog post, the company said photos can no longer be imported into Snapjoy and the iPhone app is henceforth unavailable. If you’ve got images stored on the site, you’ll have exactly a month to get them downloaded, since after July 24th, “all photos and data will be permanently deleted.” The same thing happened to Audiogalaxy shortly after its acquisition by Dropbox, and of course other big fish like Google and Twitter are well known for similar behavior after eating smaller fish — though at least we saw the #Music fruits of Twitter’s buyout shortly after it happened. On the other hand, we’ve yet to see Dropbox do anything with Audiogalaxy, so we hope the defunct apps will be resurrected in some form soon.

BlackBerry 10 users haven’t had much control over their Facebook photo uploads — a big problem when they’re trying to organize their pictures later on. Thankfully, they can be a little more restrained as of the Facebook 10.2 update. The revision lets socialites both create albums on-device and upload directly to particular albums. After the fact, they can tag existing shots and toggle just which images they see. If you’re the sort whose Q10 or Z10 doubles as a primary camera, you’ll want to grab the update at the source link.

Given how simple and common it is to do it on Facebook, Twitter or Google+, you’d think being able to share images as part of a status update wouldn’t be anything novel at this point. But for those inhabiting the popular (and inspiring) social networking site LinkedIn, this hasn’t exactly been the case — and that’s about to change. As of today, users are able to add a little more flavor to things shared on the site, with LinkedIn letting it be known that they can now easily enclose more than just text when using the share box. And while picture uploads are certainly all the buzz, LinkedIn’s also making it possible to include other file types, such as documents and presentations. Currently, the new feature only allows uploads to be done via the desktop version of the website, however LinkedIn did tell CNET that the content “will be viewable inside the mobile apps.”
