Blinky's Camera?


From China (Where else?). I want one, but in theory, I can't use it because I only have two eyes and would be incapable of viewing anything in three dimensions. Via Neatorama.

Landscapes

From today's New York Times, I got a look at the otherworldly landscapes of photographer Sze Tsung Leong, a Chinese American.


Of note in his works is that in each photograph the horizon line falls at the same point, allowing his photos to be lined up end-to-end, and viewed as a constant panorama, despite the fact that each photograph is of a far-off destination. Some examples of locations include Germany, Egypt, and Inner Mongolia (Chinese). Many of his photos are slightly overexposed, giving a ghostly feel to some thriving metropolitan areas, but by taking such wide photographs and maintaining the ratio of earth to sky, Sze Tsung Leong has compiled a body of work that will be fascinating to any and all interested in travel and/or photography. I look forward to applying the horizon line technique to some of my photographs. You can check out the article and the interactive presentation at the New York Times' Website.
