“Incredible dedication” – the only way to describe Dan Hanna who for the last 17 years has religiously taken 2 images of himself every day using a home made rig. Before you watch, just remember this started long before digital cameras were around…

Here’s the rig below, which Dan carried with him, even on holidays.

The rig dismantled below – you can see how Dan rotates himself by about 1 degree every day, so a full year means one complete rotation.

It’s a great read. Thank you Dan for sharing – it really is an amazing piece of work.

Tilt Shift Maker

by amnesia on January 12, 2009

Inspired by the amazing street project Little People Blog, but don’t quite have the time to hand-craft tiny people? Well, Tilt-Shift Maker has a quicker, easier, and surprisingly effective alternative.

Tilt-shift refers to a photographic technique whereby a camera lens is tilted relative to the image plane and combined with a large aperture to create a shallow depth of field. The end result is a real photograph that looks like a scene created of miniature models. Tilt-Shift Maker is a web service that transforms existing digital images into tilt-shift style miniatures, and the result can be surprisingly effective.  Head over to the site, upload an image, select a focus area and bam – your ‘miniaturised’ image is ready to go.

Here’s a mini Bondi Beach I’ve just whipped up:

Life Imitating Life

I just found a wonderful collection of images. Each image is snapped at an opportune moment resulting in some quite amazing moments in time, and some very funny results.
