Trying out some new ideas, and came up with this. Trying to incorporate more graphical elements into my stuff without just dropping things in there in Photoshop. So more set design, more planning, more of everything. Exciting direction, I’m looking forward to seeing where this road goes.
You think your camera is cool? Your camera will never be Made-Out-of_LEGOS cool. Meet Cary Norton. He built a 4×5 medium format camera out of LEGOs. And it takes great pictures. The evidence:
The haze! So evocative and beautiful. I have so many questions. Would changing the dimensions of the LEGOs change the way the camera works? What about translucent blocks? I’ve made pinhole cameras before, and even thought about constructing something large format, but using LEGOs? It’s like my two loves are together at last. LEGOs and photography. It was meant to be, really.
I did an experiment today to see how well light painting with matches would work. It has some potential, and I came up with a few ideas that could very well turn into some interesting fire-based projects down the line. Something to think more about and a direction that might have interesting results when mixed with other techniques.
