I am SOOOOOOO MAD


Warped Evolution from Sunday 6/24/2007

The Helena Independent Record used my photo and DID NOT CREDIT ME! Instead they credit their STAFF photographer. I am so insanely pissed off right now... UGH! I already left a very curt message for the publisher, and if they don't call me back tomorrow morning, heads are going to roll. UGH!

Next step in photography

Well, another boring summer day at photocheckout. (this is beginning to sound like a journal damn) to counter todays boredom, ANOTHER STEREOGRAPHIC PINHOLE CAMERA!! but this is no ordinary stereographic pinhole camera. This camera is made to compensate macro corrections (similar to crossing your eyes at close objects). Supports the use of two (yes) two 4x5 polaroid backs and sports a chrome targeting system! test shots have yet to be taken. but be prepared. The camera is not fully complete but is functional. completed camera will have stand allowing each camera to rotate. gearing systems will be put in place to assure accurate rotations.
constructed with the help of Camden Hardy.

Prototype MC 0.5



Materials used:
-Matte board
-Tape
-Black Spray Paint

Stereographic Study no. 2 & no. 3

First successful shot attempt two

Photocheckout summer excitement


Fighting extreme boredom in checkout, I constructed a stereographic pinhole camera out of the back of a legal pad and some foamcore. I then painted it black and chromed it out.
The camera supports 120 roll film (6x6) (well sort of will eventually) and 4x5 Polaroid and film.

-----INSTRUCTIONS-----
For proper effects,
use a stereoscope
(If you have a copy of the album, 10,000 days by Tool
use the album's lenses.)

or

cross eyes until two images align in center of vision.
if done correctly image should appear to be in THE 3RD DIMENSION.
