dignity never been photographed.....................

I took my camera with me into Hebden bridge tonight, here are the photos I took.Below, Me & my Godson,Bryn.

"dignity never been photographed.".......so sang Bob Dylan.I agree in principle.Dignity is something inside....& you cant really capture it with a camera.Saying that, check out this photograph on Kaz's blog today.Maybe Bob was wrong? KAZ i send you all my love.I think about you .Stay Strong,Honey.(Although,it would be better to have your twitter address.........)

Meanwhile.On the Internet.
A JAPANESE electronics firm has unveiled a futuristic new digital camera that unveils and photographs “the inner you.
And that means drop-dead hunks and beauties who are mean and nasty on the inside will look, in pictures taken by the camera, ”ugly and deformed” while homely men and women with hearts of gold will photograph “like supermodels and movie stars,” a spokesman for the firm says.
“We call it the Soul Camera – and it’s long overdue,” Takiro Nakamura, of Sonaco Electronics, which introduced the camera at an international trade show in Tokyo, told me exclusively............ Read More.......





"camera"   is this week's Theme Thursday




"I tied a disposable camera to a bench in Atlanta with a sign that read:
Good afternoon,



I attached this camera to the bench so you could take pictures. Seriously. So have fun. I'll be back later this evening to pick it up.
Love, Jay / The Plug
When I retrieved the camera that night, I was happy to find that the entire roll of film (and then some) had been shot. here are the photos that were taken."

I wonder how the soul camera works. A lot of people will not be happy with the results.

Tom said...

Kurt said...

The dog photo is my fave.

Also, what would that camera do with hot models with hearts of gold?

tony said...

Ah Kurt, That Is The Cunning Part! It will automatically make them friends of mine on facebook.

Roy said...

Uh, huh! Riiiiiight! A "soul camera".

You know, that bit about attaching a disposable camera to a bench and leaving a note for anybody to fire away has some serious potential. Hmmm...

Zuzana said...

What a very cool post! I love the idea of a soul camera and of course of leaving a camera at a bench, letting strangers taking pictures, wow, this was very interesting.;)
I hope you are doing well Tony,
xoxo

Zuzana said...

PS: Love the new look here.;)

tony said...

Good Morning Zuzana! Yes,I,m playing about with the new "design" option.No doubt , the look will change a 100 times (before i return to my default option of "white"!)

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the disposable camera hadn't been stolen! and the pictures were great that people took!

Happy Thursday, tony! xo

The soul camera gives different images depending on the time of the day or time of the month (by which I mean how close to payday, of course).

I love love love the camera tied to bench idea.

Akelamalu said...

I like the idea of a soul camera. :)

LadyCat said...

Kaz looks like a great lady : )
The soul camera is a nice idea...after all, beauty is only skin deep.
Clever idea of using the disposable camera. What I noticed was the large amount of blues and greens in all the photos.Good colors : )
Have a wonderul weekend!

Subby said...

I saw the "soul" camera via links from Sony Style...like something out of the "Twilight Zone", wot?

Dig th' last pic here :D

Nana Jo said...

The photo of Kaz (and her words) are dignity personified. I'm lighting a candle for her as I write this. I've been there ... on part of her journey.

The soul camera photos are an intriguing idea ... a sort of digital Dorian Gray concept.

Reading your words "Hebden Bridge' reminded me that I need to seek out my photos of my three days there in 2005 and write a little post!

white rabbit said...

I think you just invented surreal saturday!

tony said...

*blushes* All In A Day's Work..........

Perpetual Chocoholic said...

Oh I love the pics with the donkeys! What a great idea. Glad no one stole the camera;-)

I think my soul is now as unattractive if not more so, as the outter package so I don't think what I see would be any big suprise.

i wonder happens if you snap a vampire with the soul camera....
