Another fabulous give away! Y’all are going to love this…
Awhile back, I posted a photo essay and wrote about how I used Picasa (a free and super easy-to-use photo editing program by Google) to turn an unimpressive photo into something somewhat closer to impressive. Shortly thereafter, I got an email from the fotoflot people, one of Picasa’s partners, offering to send me one of their products. All I had to do was go to their website, upload a photo and then wait by the mailbox.
So I went to their website and frankly, I didn’t quite get it. I wasn’t even sure how to pronounce the product name. At any rate, I uploaded a photo I had taken recently, one that I actually had intended to have printed and framed. I had no idea really what to expect, but about a week later, I got the fotoflot in the mail and I have been a fotoflot evangelist ever since.
So what the heck is a fotoflot you ask and why is it so cool? I’ll tell you.
What the heck is it? Basically these nice people take your photo and print it on professional grade photo paper and then fuse it onto a 1/8 inch piece of acrylic. The edges are precision laser finished for a sleek and polished edge. To the back, they add two magnets which snap to the mounting system (either a wall bracket or desk top easel or even an electrical panel!) making the photo appear to be floating an inch or so from the surface for a very clean and modern look. (Photo below provided by fotoflot).
Why is it so cool? I like about 50 different things about this product, but the key things are that no frame means all the focus is on your fabulous photo and no glass means no glare. fotoflots are light weight, so you can hang them nearly anywhere and they can be wiped down with a damp cloth if they get smudged or dusty, not that that ever happens at my house. And the best part? You can pop out one photo and replace it with another in seconds. Try that with a framed photo. I dare you.
So how do you go about getting a fotoflot of your very own? Basically you upload a picture, either at their site, or even easier, directly from one of their partners (Picasa, Kodak Gallery, SmugMug or Zenfolio), choose the size you want (they have about 28 different sizes and shapes including panoramics) and mounting system (wall or desk top) and then go wait by the mailbox.
If you would like to win a $70 gift certificate! (woo hoo!) from fotoflot, and you know you do, go take a look at their stuff and then come back here and tell me what you think. I’m tellin’ ya, this is the best gift of the holiday season (and every occasion thereafter) in my opinion. Give this to your mom and she will finally like you better than your brother.
I’ll use random.org to choose a winner at some point over the weekend.
Jeanne A says:
If I can ever get my 5 kids home at the same time on a weekend, and get our family picture taken….this would be a very nice gift.
Love learning about new options!

Ooh…! I’ma big fan of Picasa, since I haven’t splurged on PhotoShop yet. I’ve heard of thi fotoflot…I’d love to try it!

Nan says:
You’re baaaaack! I am so happy!
December 11th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Antique Mommy says:
I was like Trina at first, I thought, “Oh this is kind of interesting…” But it’s way more cool than can be described in words. It’s the perfect gift for my older relatives whose closets overflow with useless Christmas gifts past that they don’t want or need. Every holiday occasion I can just order them a new fotoflot and they can pop out the old pic and put in the new (all by themselves!) or change out pictures by season. I just think that is so cool.

fern says:
How cool? I loved the drama–when I looked at their photos I found myself wondering what was beyond the edges of the fotoflot.

what a cool concept, will definitely be checking this out!
December 11th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Sarah at themommylogues says:
Didn’t you say you were doing all your Christmas shopping there? I checked it out then too. It looks really cool. I like the idea of changing pictures out by season.
December 11th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Karen says:
That looks super cool. It would be fun to try it!

This is a GREAT idea! I am in the market for some wall art to go above my mom’s desk, and this would be perfect.

canadacole says:
Ok, that’s very cool. And you have saved me because I have not been able to decide what to get for my mom for Christmas this year. It might be a little late, but it will be worth it!
December 11th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Shawna says:
That looks amazing. I was skeptical until I looked at the website. I would love to receive a $70 gift certificate to it. I was just ‘made redundant’ as the British say, yesterday (as of 12/31) so money is going to be tight…this would make a good way to buy a Christmas present for my mom.

Ooooh. This is good. I so want to learn more about camera/picture stuff. I’m so point and shoot, and my pictures are so SOOTC (straight out of the camera)!
I’m a photo-junkie wanna-be.
December 11th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Erin says:
Interesting. We’re photo junkies at my house so I’m throwing my hat in the ring for sure.
December 11th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Wendy says:
You have gotten me so hooked on photo editing since you told us about picasa. I have since then switched to gimp for most things, but since then I have made so many cool things (including my own collage to put on my Christmas card and and edited photos put together on gifts for my husband for Christmas from my kids) Thank you for getting me started on this! I love that this site lets you make these dimensions of pictures. Other than there, it is hard to get pictures in those dimensions printed, much less find a frame for them.
December 11th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Jenni says:
I think this is extremely cool. I love the way the photo looks like it’s hovering away from the wall. Thanks for the heads-up about this deal, and for the chance to win!

Love this! I’m trying to decide which photos I could use. Definitely a collage – perhaps my daughter’s first five years sitting on Santa’s lap?
December 11th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Robyn says:
As my husband could tell you, I’m a suck for anything resembling a photo frame. It’s a terrible affliction!
December 11th, 2008 at 10:22 am
Debra says:
This is truly awesome. I have 5 kids and numerous foreign exchange students over the past 10 years. My wall is a hodge podge of photos and frames from their school graduation photos and the younger kids school photos. I swap them out each year for the younger kids. My wall looks so mismatched with all the different frames. I would use this for putting all 8 of my photos on the wall without the ugly frames that don’t match.
December 11th, 2008 at 10:23 am

I LOVE this! I spent 2 years overseas a few years ago and still haven’t finished my photo projects…this would be PERFECT.

Beverlydru says:
This is amazing. What will they think of next? I would immediately give this as a gift to my daughter who is a budding photographer. Also want to order one for wedding photos of our son’s wedding. I love the fact that I wouldbn’t have to pick JUST ONE but could change out photos. Totally cool.

SG says:
When we bought our Mac my heart was broken to find that Picasa did not work on a Mac. I seriously might not have gone with a Mac had I realized that before because I SOOO loved Picasa! I still miss it and keep hoping it will become Mac friendly someday. I photo just doesn’t do it for me. But anyway, I bet fotoflots are super cool. I wonder if I can still do that from a Mac. Anyone know?
* * *
The fotoflot folks say there is a program called Crossover that will allow you to run the PC version of Picasa on your Mac. More info. on that can be found here: http://www.technofileonline.com/texts/tec071308.html
They say the program is about $40. ~ AM

This looks fabulous, but way out of my budget, so I need that gift certificate!
I’ve missed you!

Kai says:
I like that they are easily changeable, but the wall mount mechanism looks very complicated to install.
I LOVE the clean line look though. When I think of how many hours I’ve spent cutting mats and framing…the concept becomes more and more appealing!
* * * * *
NOT complicated at all Kai. Even easier than hanging a regular picturel It’s a metal plate that you basically hammer/screw into the wall. That’s it. And the magnets on the back of the picture stick to the metal plate. Because I’m a slacker/doofus I hung mine on an existing picture hook. Installing the bracket properly is on my to do list. ~ AM

I think I’d like to see a better shot of those 3 pictures in this post – are they yours? They look very beautiful and interesting!
I have a picture on my computer right now that I’d love fotoflot!
* * *
No, those aren’t my pictures. I probably should make that clear. Go to their site and snoop around and you’ll see some great examples. The pictures I took of my fotoflot didn’t show it off very well, primarily because the lighting in my house is extremely weird and also because I really have no idea how the camera works. I’ll keep trying and put up a picture when I get a good one. ~ AM

I used to be such a fool getting my kids pictures taken like EVERY 2 months, Then I had the third and decided I am done wasting money on pictures that my hubby wont let me hang because a) he would rather not have the holes in the wall and b) I am hoping one day to be moving out of this house into a bigger one, BUT until that happens I am taking back my walls and hanging stuff myself. This would be very cool

Wow – what an awesome product!! I can see why you’re so excited. My biggest challenge? Figuring out which photo to start with. Or just take a new one. Yeah, any excuse to shoot something. Or someone.
Thanks!

Antique Mommy says:
I too felt like the fotoflots were a little pricey until my husband reminded me of the many framed prints I have in the back of the closet that I spent $75 or more for framing/matting/glass that have inexplicably gotten a bug under the glass or somehow gotten stuck to the glass (ruined) or no longer work with our decor or worked in the old house but not in the new one…

In the words of my 5 year old son, “Neat-o” and “Awesome!” My sister takes great pictures so I would love to share this with her!

I am the BIGGEST nerd about pictures, and I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this site before! I’d love to use one of the panoramic-looking frames to display a bunch of different pictures… or really, any of the frames, just to add some depth to my white, not-allowed-to-be-painted walls.

They look absolutely amazing. It would be a perfect gift for my dad. They recently redid their living room and are trying to keep everything to a minimum. With these they will be able to show off all the photos with out to much clutter. This is a great find. Thanks.

I left via that link about an hour ago…so many cool options! We have a ton of panoramas from a trip we took out west this summer and the fotoflot would be perfect for those.

k&c's mom says:
Count me in!
I was admiring those pictures on your blog thinking what an accomplished photographer you are with panoramic farm scenes. Trying to imagine if that is your breakfast room… Then I go to the website and see it is THEIR panoramic farm shot and THEIR breakfast room set. You almost had me there!

First of all, and most importantly, YOU’RE BACK and I am so pleased! I felt as if my best friend had moved away.
Secondly, I would love to be placed in the running for a gift certificate for the fotoflot. I had two children get married this year and had my first grandchild born in September and I am picture rich and financially poor!! This would be a stupendous gift!
Thanks for your continuing inspiration and entertainment. Merry Christmas to you, AD and, of course, Sean!!

Ellen says:
Perfect! I need to have my youngest’s 6 mo pic printed and framed. The $70 will just about cover the 3:2 ratio 15×10 foto that I want to flot.

Adrian says:
This is seriously cool! I probably love pictures better than anything else and I would love to have one of these to display some pics of my kids and grandkids. I might even scare up a little photo of me and my husband!

Pretty spiffy, but I’m not sure most of my shots are deserving of such regal treatment . . unless, of course, I had a $70 gift certificate, say.
December 12th, 2008 at 6:19 am
Juanita says:
You know how you have a photo that you would love to enlarge a bit and then frame to hang on a wall and then you get the photo back from the printers and it sits in it’s hard envelope because you can’t find that frame that is just right because they are all ugly or are just slightly off in color or are too wide or too narrow for balance or or or…This is a great solution and I love the fact that there are so many sizes to choose from.

This is so cool
And yes, I’m slacking — entering your giveaway instead of upgrading your blog like I should be. I’m kind of afraid to do it while you’ve got so many people coming to enter 
Maybe I’ll hold off until tomorrow — then again, maybe I can keep others from entering and increase my chances … ok, just kidding. I’m *so* not like that!

Oooo, I have some photos I could do that with.
I like the light hanging idea, since it puts less wear and tear on my very old plaster walls.

Sue says:
They look so neat! I would like to use those on the back of my upper kitchen cabinets– the part that faces our family room. If I don’t win these, maybe you can give me some ideas for that space, AM. Thanks for the chance.

fl?tblog: What others say » Antique Mommy likes fotofl?t says:
[...] A few weeks ago, we came across a blog post on Antique Mommy about the cool things you can do with Google’s Picasa photo editing software. Since we’re a Picasa Print Provider – making it super easy for Picasa users to fl?t their photos – we told her about fotofl?t because we thought she and her readers might be interested. After fl?ting one of her photos, she got VERY interested and wrote this. [...]
