Demolition

DemolitionI’ve had a manic four weeks editing video for a DVD and teaching two days a week. Things have calmed now so I’m back to scanning Cyclops negatives like this one.

Entry No. 103

scaffoldingAnother Cyclops picture.

Cyclops Again

Cyclops Wide-eye Covent GardenSince my first Cyclops is currently in a thousand pieces awaiting motorisation I was tempted by a Mark I version of the same camera. I’m happy to report that the new one seems to be working pretty well (click on the thumbnail).

I should also mention that The Barbican coughed up a refund and offered complimentary tickets to a another showing of the Eggleston film mentioned in the previous post.

Bollard

Two Bollards, Two PolicemenI’ve made a new page for the Cyclops panoramic camera.

I get quite a lot of hits from people searching for pictures of bollards. They often fail because I removed one so I thought I’d put this up and then people can also tell me why they are looking for them.

More Dodgy Cameras

Victoria StreetI took the Cyclops and my home-made pinhole camera out and struggled with both. The Cyclops wasn’t swinging its lens fully and I’m wondering if I might be able to replace the clockwork with a motor. A piece of the pinhole snapped off but that’s a lot easier to repair – Mk II could be in the pipeline. Pictures, if any worked, coming soon.

As usual, a digital picture fills the space.
