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.

Her looks shine through with such grace and an effortlessly cool confidence. Here is my favorite.

Press Play Again

You know that feeling when you stumble upon an old movie you haven't seen in years? It's like finding a dusty photo album and flipping through the pages, only instead of bad hairstyles, you're greeted with hideous special effects and awful dialogue. Also, the dramatic tension I remembered as nail-biting was now… well, a little slow-paced. But the truly entertaining part of rewatching a movie is that you notice things you never did before. For example, in Midnight Cowboy , I didn't know that the guy who gave Joe Buck (Jon Voight) a blow job was played by Bob Balaban, who later became known for his role as Russell Dalrymple, the fictional president of NBC in Seinfeld . Released in 1969, Midnight Cowboy is a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, often heartbreaking, but ultimately deeply human. And seriously, the chemistry between Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) and Buck is pure gold. Rewatching a movie is like visiting an old friend. You know their idiosyncrasies, their stories, bu...

More Than Just Smiles and Sunsets

                  Ayala Museum is currently hosting "Amorsolo: Chroma" - a spectrum of brilliance you wouldn't want to miss. It is more than just a collection of paintings; it’s an experience.
