Bladeless Turbine
Oh so cool and nifty! The idea is real simple, just a (or many) flat disk(s) with a gas or a liquid shooting across at a tangent.
A Tesla turbine is a quite unique technology. It was invented and patented by Nikola Tesla on the 21st October 1909 at the Untied States Patent Office from experiments done in England. The patent 1061206 was granted on the 6th May 1913. Although, it is thought that a Tesla first showed a 200 hp 16,000 RPM version on the 10th of July 1906 (on Tesla’s 50th birthday).

Ahh… The simple bliss of a simple toy camera. Photography becomes more of an art form when all you have is fixed focus, one exposure value, and a cheap hunk of plastic to view the world through. It is amazing what sort of photos can be created buy using what is basically a hunk of junk.
We hope to inspire you, dear viewer, to become a Plastic Camera devotee as well, so put down that Nikon, shelve those Canons, liquidate that Blad and join us on our quest for the “Image Sublime”. The Search for the Photograph that is more than the sum of its parts. Where photography regains a bit of its Magic and is no longer a mere technical exercise. This is a place where any and all can take photographs that have personal meaning. Whatever that might be. Please enjoy and be sure to jump into our very cool and fun message board where lots of fun and interesting things happen. We live for discussion and feedback. No lie, it’s true.
Toycamera.com started as just two people with an interest in Plastic Cameras. We found these funny little cameras to take odd and compelling images. Over a fairly short time and a few conversations with others who found themselves interested in the Cameras, we found ourselves with a Group. Not a club. Not much of a Gang even. But our numbers grew. And continue to grow.

Wall-Mart is Lawyer Whipped
I saw this on BoingBoing today and was shocked. This happened to me a few years ago when I was taking photos of pet cremation urns (don’t ask). The Wall-Mart refused to print them on the grounds that they were obviously shot by a professional. Well after blushing and thanking them on the complement I realized that they were still not going to print them. I had to produce my business card (it says photographer on it) and told them that I shot the photos (I was using film then) and insisted that they print them. With some reluctance they did. Not they they looked very good but it was a rush job and I needed proofs on the weekend.
To t his date I have not used any photo services at Wall-Mart. Now Costco on the other hand kicks ass. Low cost high qulaity photos and not once have they questioned the copyright on my work.
Photofinishing labs increasingly are refusing to print professional-looking photographs taken by amateurs.
The reason: Photofinishers are afraid of infringing on professional photographers’ copyrights…
