Here's one of the computer eyes pics I made with my apple II in the mid 1980s. Ingrid, the little girl on the right is now a 23 year old writer living in New York. Heidi, the girl on the left. is a 30 year old art director in Chicago. They had to sit very still for these to get good results. The big Sharp VHS video camera was connected to a card in the computer slot. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5155730
