A photographic memory is a blessing and a curse: one can remember everything, but none of it is open for interpretation. Share the burden every camera must carry with today's Groupon. For $35, you get a professional photography session, print package, and one digital copy from studiolano (a $135 value), located in historic Ybor. This Groupon is valid for a one-hour studio session ($60), one 8”x10” print ($13), one 5”x7” print ($7), eight wallet prints ($15), and one personal digital copy ($25) of one selected photo. Tax and USPS shipping of prints is included (average of $15).
Quality photos capture piercing looks, toothy smiles, and elusive dodo sightings much more efficiently then papier-mâché sculptures. At studiolano, photographer April Catalano utilizes her many years of experience to photograph subjects with a microscopic attention to detail. During a one-hour session at studiolano’s fully equipped studio, April will rattle off 50–75 shots of multiple poses with the speed and precision of a camera-fitted, laser-guided cheetah. Striking images are artfully captured with an uncommon eye to provide game-changing glimpses of the subject’s pleasant disposition that can’t be replicated with an emoticon-riddled letter of recommendation. After the photo shoot, customers place their package order from the comfort of their plush, indoor hammocks with online proof viewing and ordering.
This package is an opportunity to upgrade framed family photos that have been hanging in parents’ homes for the past 600 years. Now that photo subjects aren’t riddled with acne or plagued with a six-year-old’s gummy smile, they’ll be able to surprise their folks with a more up-to-date snapshot just in time for Mother’s Day and refrigerator-magnet season. Book your appointment by phone, by email, or on studiolano's website.

Photogeist
Throughout the whole of nature, there are many elusive beings that cannot be properly photographed (vampires, ninjas, your girlfriend who goes to a different high school). Groupon paraphotographers were, however, able to uncover one irrefutable incident of ghost photography: the infamous Hansen Collection.
In 1978, amateur bat photographer Gregory Hansen was in his front yard one night when a mysterious white orb appeared in the sky over his home. Diverting his attention from a particularly active nest of eptesicus fuscus, he began photographing the orb, which made no attempt to flee or conceal itself. Hansen continued to document the orb as it reappeared over his house, each night shrinking slightly "as though passing slowly into the spirit world," Hansen observed. On particularly cloudy nights, the orb would not be present, prompting Hansen to speculate that ghosts may be allergic to thunder.
Although skeptics have said "I don't have time for this" and "Seriously, are you five? I'm actually asking you if you are literally five years old" regarding Hansen's photos, die-hard Hansenites keep the truth alive through web-based communities and Obey The Orb street graffiti. Hansen tragically passed away in 2005, when he was struck by a roaring mechanical demon while crossing the street.
