If We Don’t, Remember Me – This unique Tumblr blog offers motion images (movie GIFs) taken from famous classic films. What I love about these moving images is that they never cease to surprise and intrigue. Here are a few examples:

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

Picplum – Earlier this month I wrote about Snail Mail My Email, a community art project that turned email messages into handwritten letters and sent them to people’s physical post boxes. Well, this Weekly Fave is based on a similar concept, but instead of handwritten letters, Picplum dives into the retro experience of sending photo prints (yes, actual photos you can hold in your hand).

How does Picplum work? Either upload or email the pictures you want to be sent as prints, and provide a recipient’s address. Picplum prints these on paper and sends them to your family, friends or whatever recipient you requested. Send the first batch of printed photos for free, and if you want automatic printing, plans start at $7/month.

Photovine – This social app by Google is a community of iOS users centered around photos shared with the world. Each photo starts a “Vine” -a thread of conversations users can add their own photos to and comment on.

Photovine is a well thought out application, and being an active member of the Photovine community depends on your compliance to the app’s guidelines. For that reason, photos submitted via Photovine should be original, meaning pics you took yourself while on the beach, at a party or other interesting, meaningful place. And no, nude pics are not OK and will be removed.

With Photovine you can follow Vines and interesting people through their photos. Interact with and contribute to the community and explore the cherished moments of many people worldwide. To learn more about Photovine, see the video below.

Hooked on Houses – Julia is a freelance writer who loves houses. Not because of their design or architectural structure, but because she believes each has its own personality. Hooked on Houses is Julia’s spot for writing about houses she loves as a form of entertainment – something we rarely consider when looking at buildings.

Hooked on Houses has no real estate agenda per se, but Julia will throw in posts on home decor or house sale tips every now and then. Above all, Hooked on Houses is about appreciating and sharing photos of unique and interesting houses. Here are two examples.

Houses as Art: The Heidelberg Project in Detroit

Pictory – Editor, designer and founder of Pictory Laura Brunow invites you to “submit one large, captioned image to each of Pictory’s editorial themes.” The end result is stunning, collective photo essays where each photo (only grade A images are included) originates from a different person of a different country and culture, yet all images work together in harmony. Pictory is a well-designed and edited photo story-telling venue that is refreshing. Most photo essays online offer a variety of photos from the same photographer. Pictory is different, unique and engaging, and it’s rather easy to participate in.

To explore the essence of Pictory, start with Eat at Your Own Risk. Amazing stories told by submitted photos.
