Eclectic junk from the four corners of the ‘Net. And pictures too!
Have you ever looked at one of your (many) blank walls in your apartment and thought “Gee, I’d like to put up a huge picture of my cat up on that blank wall…”. Well look no more! Introducing the Rasterbator!
Have you ever looked at one of your (many) blank walls in your apartment and thought “Gee, I’d like to put up a huge picture of my cat up on that blank wall…”. Well look no more! Introducing the Rasterbator! Thats right, now you can have an image blown up to 20 meters in length (thats 65-1/2 feet to you and me)!
Go have a look and print yourself up a storm (or a cat, a babe from the ‘net, your kids, etc…)
The Moscow subway has got to be the most beautiful underground on the planet. If you think that all of Moscow is run down and dirty these photos will change your mind.

This is a real double threat, not only can you take a 12 mega pixle photo but you can do it UNDERWATER! Looks like the housing will also take a D70 (so yeah, I could use one). I’d guess that the housing costs more than my camera did. The package should sell for about $5000 clams.

I finished selecting photos from my last New York trip. I managed to take some photos in Moma, a cool Japanese resturant called Kenka, and had a wonderful birthday dinner at my wifes place (her birthday, not mine). The subway art that we found at the 14th Street 8th Avenue station was a real treat, NYC is full of stull like that.

W00t! If these are as cheap as I think they are ($50) then I might buy some of these for Christmas gifts. I can see one of these being an ideal addition to my camera bag. I used to make fisheye photos with my Nikon 950/4500 and the Nikon FC-E8 fisheye lens but now that I use my D70 all the time I’m losing out on the old 178 degree field of view. I loved this lens, I’m working on an adapter to screw it on to a nifty lens my brother just gave me (Tamron AF 28-105)
If you have never shot with an ultra wide lens before you have not lived… It opens up an whole new world. So have a look at the gallery photos on the Lomo site and see what you think. One of these cameras are small enough to fit in a camera bag on your next trip.

This is brilliant! Much better than all those ‘Gates’ parody sites out there. If you didn’t know Katamari Damacy is a video game that has you roll up just about everything so you can re-build the heavens after your Dad went on a bender. Looks like fun! I hope other to see more of this kind of cool photoshop madness. Maybe catalog pages would be next, lots of things there, some old Dutch master paintings too if you want to keep with what has been started alreaday.
