I have a bit of a backlog of posts that I am going to put up tonight since I did not have access to a computer over Spring Break. The Wednesday before break, I visited the camera obscura that was set up close to downtown. I really did not think that it would be that intriguing, but it surprised me. There was such a beauty to have an outdoor scene projected onto a wall, a ceiling, etc. I really was not so impressed with what I saw set up, but that was made with pretty limited resources. I thought the beauty in the images from the Powerpoint presentation was incredible. That in itself reminded me of really amazing special effects like in Donnie Darko and other films. I really think that seeing a sky in a place where it does not belong is kind of magical. And capturing that as an artform is genius in its simplicity.
