Link Roundup: Half & Half Edition
Three great photographers, three great articles. Simplicity itself:
- William Hundley’s Photography - I totally don’t know the name of this, but William likes to hide people. He takes photos of people jumping behind sheets, coats, and other obstructions. He freezes the action, making the person disappear but leaving behind a mysterious sheet. I can’t explain why I like these so much, but I do. They make me giggle. Added bonus, I found his Flickr account!
- Justin Quinnell’s In-Mouth Pinhole Photography - Justin takes extraordinarily surreal pinhole photographs using a tiny camera mounted inside his mouth. You really need to see these; talk about getting a unique angle for your photos.
- Uncredited Photos of One Man’s Struggle - One man and his family deal with the pain of a man’s heroin addiction and ongoing fight with aids. If you know the name of the photographer who took these, please tell me. They are powerful photos and I haven’t been able to find out the name of the person behind the camera yet.
- Convert an old Mouse Into a Shutter Release Cable - The inventiveness of the DIY crowd will never cease to amaze me. Simple instructions for making your own cable release; you do need to know a little bit about electronics before you get started though.
- Using Your Scanner as a Camera - Haje Jan Kamps takes a brief break from the hectic life of a magazine editor to give his readers an article on a new way of taking photos. Use a scanner! Makes me wish I hadn’t sold my old one.
- Why Bubble Levels Are a Waste of Money - I always have problems getting my horizons, or anything else, in my photos straight. After reading this article, I’m with the author. I don’t think a bubble level is going to help me that much, I’m better off using the three techniques he outlines.
I’m totally impressed with the response you guys gave on yesterday’s post. I’m looking forward to digging through those photos tonight this weekend.

“If you know the name of the photographer who took these, please tell me.”
Is it not Ralf Brunner? His name is in the copyright at the bottom of each photograph?
This is a powerful series. I don’t know if I like them, but I wanted to see every frame.

Crap, I’m trying to figure out if they updated it or (more likely) I just completely missed that.
Wow, I’m braindead :P

I have been thinking for sometime whether I should be having a blog or not. But now I finally have a blog. The name of my blog is - My Third Eye. In recent times I have discovered a genuine fondness for photography. Capturing the world and its people in still images is a very difficult task. But right now I am trying. I am serious about this hobby. And I will carry on with it for years to come.
In my new blog I have posted a few pictures that I have taken in recent times. There are four categories. There is also another category which has my sketches. The URL is: http://clickmoments.blogspot.com/
I will be glad if you pay a visit to it and post your thoughts. I hope others will pour their thoughts in soon. You can even vote in the voting machine at the bottom of my blog. You may even be my follower if you want to. By clicking the ‘Follow this blog’ link on the top left of the page, you may add yourself to the list of my followers. I will be extremely glad.
