If you leave a camera sitting in the open and drive off, you shouldn't be surprised when someone makes off with it. Photographer Roger de la Harpe laid a running camera down when he retreated from a pride of lionesses in Tswalu Kalahari Game Reserve in South Africa. There was a happy ending for de la Harpe, although the lioness is presumably off in search of something tastier than a digital camera. Link -via The Daily What
What a great idea for a photography project...leave cameras around in vaious urban and other locations, running. Have some sort of tracking device so you can get it back, or have it send the pictures wirelessly. Make the camera too big to simply secrete in a pocket, and see what happens. You know the cameras will be picked up, and where people take them will be interesting (pawn shops, etc.) and what they try to do with them as well.
