I've actually seen a street photo done this way before, though I didn't
really grasp the mechanics at the time. I've seen pictures of perfectly
flat water at seashores that I think must've been done this way, come to
think of it.
>What other unusual photo ideas can you come up with?
A long the ideas of your drawing with light idea, you could take an
extremely fine fiber optic strand, run one end through the center of a
weight and hook the other to a ligh-tight light source; then turn the
strand and the weight into a pendulum; stick some sheet film under it; send
the weight swinging and fire up the light source. If you used something
with colored LEDs or bulbs as your light source, you could have multiple
colors in your light drawing.
If you could get hold of some glow in the dark paint and an appropriate
speed film, take roly-polys and let them make your drawing for you.
Use some of your .44 rounds as flash bulbs.
Or take a series of shots of your neighbors and neighborhood (photographic,
of course) through the barrel of your .44--something like a big pinhole
camera, or is that even possible? Maybe if you could get hold of an
endoscope it would work?
Could you lay some film on the screen of a laptop and use that to make a
big blurry contact negative or transparency?
Would it work with a tv or monitor screen?
What about taking a big negative and making a contact print by laying it on
top of a laptop screen? You might be able to make some kind of double image
that way.
Or maybe make a contact print using a pinhole camera as the light source?
Too goofy, not unusual enough?
