Problem Light (Steampunk edition)

Very nice execution of this project.

Think of a smoke alarm…but more general.
So, as I began plotting my own problem light, in the Venture Bros style, my friend told me she was redoing her living room steampunk-style.
I began to wonder, how do you do a late 1800s LED…and I ran to scribble a drawing.

The photoset of the build is quite detailed and lends itself to being easily reproducible, it would be a fun project for a long weekend.

Nuked Czech Live Remote

 
This may not have been the most advisable of artistic hacks ever done, but it did look pretty good. Nothing like watching the weather and all of a sudden you see a bright flash followed by a mushroom cloud! Who says the cold was is dead?

Members of ZTOHOVEN connected up to one of the stationary camera during TV weathercast and in real time broadcast their own shots, which showed nuclear exposion. Then the picture changed. Instead of the name of the locality (Black Mine) the website reference ZTOHOVEN.com (now is overloaded) came up on the screen.

No nuclear weapons have been harmed in the making of this video clip.

Your Photos in a Museum?

Most photographers can only dream of having their works seen by countless numbers of patrons ‘de arts who mill through the galleries munching on crackers and brie while making casual remarks on the expressionistic realization of the artists as if they have a clue. Well, tough. Chances are that you won’t be seeing your photos on any ones walls other than your own and maybe the Post Office. But you can have some imaginative play time fun and make like the big time cam a knockin.
Upload your photo (or send it a URL) and choose the setting and the Museumr will do the heavy lifting for you. All you have to do is to sit back and have a sip of vino and bask in the radiance of pseudo artistic achievement.

Holga FAQ

The Holga FAQThis is proving to be Holga week here at the lab. Joe Harris left me a comment on my Holga fish eye lens find telling me that he maintains an FAQ on the creative camera. I had a read and I’ll agree, it’s just the thing some one would need when either deciding on what version to buy or how to do things that may not be covered in the book. I like the part on how to tell the different models apart and "How do I get those famous “dreamy” Holga colors?" What more can you ask for in a FAQ?
