Re: [Digital BW] B&W Magazine "drops" digital prints

2002-02-27 by Mark Tucker

In response to this discussion, (or maybe I was
inspired by BW's decision), I duct taped a Fuji 680
polaroid back onto a Federal Express box (Small Size)
last night, and poked a small hole in it for a lens.
The depth of the Small Box is only about an inch and a
half, so the "lens" is very wide -- about like a 15 on
a Nikon. Even with the crude test hole, punched and
dug out with a number 11 xacto blade, the picture is
shockingly sharp and good. Exposure time for my
aperture is about one second in normal daylight room
light. I just pull the dark slide with my finger over
the hole, and give it about one second, then reinsert
the dark slide.

I give credit to Mr. Rasmussen of BW Magazine, for
fueling my creation. 

In pure technical terms, does a FedEx Box count as a
"machine"?... I am hoping not.
