Gee I guess I'm only sort of a real photographer
I started doing photography around 1966 when I was 12
The closest I ever got to a view camera is using a
Crown Graphic
But then again my girl friend seems to think
I do everything sort of backwards and up side down!

Ahem! If you were a real photographer from an age not
involving digital, you would be familiar with upside down and
backwards images. This is standard for a view camera.

Well, Jan, you might agree with me that you
need really good eyes to see more than profiles and the
darn thing also produces upside down images like any
other camera ...

They all tinkered with various cameras including
the camera obscura. I have one kicking around
someplace in my studio, so in the cleaning now going
on, I will look for it. The camera obscura showed
the entire scene, not just the outlines. Look it up
in google.

I've been always in awe about how artists
could come up with such masterpieces before
the discovery of electricity and the
invention of photography. Vermeer tinkered
with the camera obscura in the 15th century
in his "studio", but that just helped with
the outlines and not the subtleties of the
light. And how about those ever changing
light conditions when trying to finish a
painting outdoors? ...
If we can provide more creative and
intuitive access to younger and coming
generations - it's all good. And some of
these animations are just plain cool.

This was neat.
It's not that the originals aren't
enough. It's someone's internal
representation of what they see playing
out in them. This is a common class
discussion and teaching technique. "Make
the viewer feel the motion." It might
be away to introduce the younger pre
teen or tween generations to art they
still in their youth find
boooorrriiinnggggg.
