In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at wimmelbild, an odd camera, the value of a photo, home ownership and grants for photographers.

- Adrian Hanft built A Camera Made of 23,248 Coffee Stirrers powered by a Raspberry Pi, and controlled with a Nintendo controller. "When I tell people that I made a camera out of coffee stirrers I get an odd reaction. They want to know why," he writes. Adrian, that is not an odd reaction.
- In The Value of a Photo, Rise Above Research provides an infographic showing we prize our photos most just after they are taken "but recalling specific positive memories and happy life experiences can help with overall well-being and reduce the risk of depression, particularly among young people."
- Kirk Tuck "celebrates" The Glorious Perks of Homeownership when he discovers a mysterious leak in the kitchen. So what's he do? He grabs a camera, that's what.
