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.
