Ever wonder who is stealing the cheese out of the fridge? These Wildlife Motion Detection Cameras from National Geographic might solve that problem right quick. Triggered by heat and movement, both the 35-mm and digital models of these simplified all-weather cameras take multiple images to capture backyard wildlife. Equipped with a wide-angle lens with 60-degree field of view and two test modes, these cameras will run for 21 days of 24-hour operation before needing fresh batteries. NG makes both a digital (left) and 35mm (right) version for all your cheese-nabber needs. And they are incredibly affordable at $60-$70 each.

Thanks so much to Grace Bonney for including us in January’s Design*Sponge shop! It was truly an honor! This month sees new products from Amanda Kavanagh, Foxy and Winston, Laura Lienhard, Jon Setzen of Standard Motion and Geoff Wood. The lovely print above is from Foxy and Winston. As was the case last month, 100% of the proceeds from select items in the shop go towards the Design*Sponge scholarship.

More Turns, a series/installation by Bill Sullivan, a local NYC artist, showcases a part of our day that we rarely ever notice (or even try our hardest not to notice): people passing through the turnstiles in the subway.

Installed as a series of 6 larger than full-size images, the portraits become a window into the familiar, but re-presented in a striking and unfamiliar way. The photographs confront the viewer with the stare of the commuter in such a way to freeze both the subject and the viewer. Please take a minute to look at the website and see the individual expressions on the faces, amazing. We should all take such an interest in the everyday din of the city. Because in it we can find those fleeting moments of beauty.

While Karen Walker‘s jewelry is all very nice, the images of the jewelry really steal the show. If you know who the photographer is, let me know!

UPDATE: The photographer is Derek Henderson and the stylist is Katie Lockhart. Thanks, Allebelle!
