This camera app is really useful if you want to protect the anonymity of your subject

In some cases it may be necessary to conceal the identity of the people you record. A common method used by journalists and photographers is the silhouette effect. Sometimes they also use editing softwares to both blur images and distort voices beyond recognition. But if you don't have enough time for the above-mentioned techniques, a new camera app promises to be the most comprehensive solution.

Aptly called Anonymous Camera, the app offers real-time face anonymizing while you're shooting images. Faces can be blocked with solid colors, static noise, or a blur effect. You can even choose to hide people's whole bodies and distort audio tracks in videos. It is free to download on the App Store and costs just $1.99 if you want to remove the AC watermark from video recording.


Other valuable features :

- Remove metadata: users can choose to delete any and all metadata associated with the video, including time, date, and location.

- Split screen: control how much of the frame is anonymized to perform interviews while protecting your sources.

- Local storage: all processing and storage is done locally. Nothing ever goes to the cloud.

Pretty impressive, huh? If you're interviewing someone who has good reason to remain incognito, Anonymous Camera will make your life easier.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.
