Leaving Camera Memory Cards in Public Places

Posted by Queuebot in Blog & Internet on March 4, 2009 at 1:08 am

The Photochaining blog is a continuous project where people randomly leave memory cards in public places to be picked up and used by others, who then do likewise.

First, take funny/original/creative photos with your own camera using a cheap memory card. Then write a note in which your explain the concept to the "finder". You also provide a name to the memory card (research on Photochaining to ensure that the designated memory card name has not already been allocated). Put the memory card and the note in an envelope. Hopefully the "finder" will pay it forward and you will be able to track images and the journey of your card online.

1 millimeter a day.

Posted by Queuebot in Arts & Crafts on January 23, 2009 at 3:07 am

Chris Hornbecker set himself a challenge: take a brand new photo every day. That may be easy given that he’s a professional photographer, so naturally there’s a catch:

Beginning with 14mm, each day I zoom the lens by 1 millimeter and force myself to use that focal length to shoot and post a photo before going to sleep that night. This will continue every day until I reach the end of the 1mm lens adjustments at 400mm.

1mm is an experiment in changing perspective. Looking at things in a restricted view, I find the light as it’s naturally falling, then use the exposure and craft to create visual intrigue out of objects we pass by every day. [...]

The rules:
1. Shoot a new photo every day.
2. Each day increase the focal length one millimeter.
3. Post this new image before going to sleep.
4. No cheating.

The Picture of Everything

Posted by Stacy in Arts & Crafts on January 21, 2009 at 9:23 pm


This is just a tiny little bit of the Picture of Everything by artist Howard Hallis. The story is, well, the guy started drawing and just kept on going. Originally, he was just drawing Marvel characters, but then he started to include non-Marvel cartoons, then real-life people that had been made into cartoons, and then… well, everything. He’s scheduled to complete the whole thing – whatever “complete” means – in 2010. There are no villains in the picture because he has a friend who is going to work on the Dark Side, and yes, he is worried about getting sued.

Also, Waldo is somewhere in the whole thing, but I’m not going to look for him. You can, if you want, and let us know where you found him! The link includes plenty of close ups and much more detail.

A Rat on A Cat on A Dog

Here’s a great picture of a three-layer love fest. I almost wish there was a tiny flea on the rat just to make things even better. Best. Picture. Ever. I especially love that it wasn’t staged, the photographer just happened across this freak occurrence.
