Scanner As Camera (In Class)

Favorite Photographer

I'd have to say that my favorite photographer would have to be Elliot Porter. I love his work becasue his photos consists of landscapes but he also focuses on close-ups of patterns in nature. When I took digital photography my final project for that class was the emulation of Elliot Porter and I bought my first photography book by him. His work really inspires me becasue I love taking pictures of landscapes and nature (also clouds and sunsets).

What Does Camera Obscura Mean?

Camera = Latin for "room"
Obscura = Latin for "dark"
Camera obscura is when light rays from an object pass through a tiny hole and flip that image upside down. Camera obscure means "darkened room". Originally it was a room that was all blacked out to keep the light out except for this one tiny hole in the wall. Through the tiny hole you could see an object that could be projected upside down or moved right or left. It then became smaller so that it could be portable (small box).
