Walking on Air

Camera Obscura - Hat
Sun and clouds inverted into a Camera Obscura on the Man’s hat

Recently I slept inside of a Camera Obscura, and now I can’t stop shooting these curiosities every time I run across them.

In these photos the sun and clouds are projected onto the wall and floors of a dark cinema at the Sydney Biennale, on Cockatoo Island. After screening a video I shot the different camera obscura scattered around the dark room.

  1. Just wanted to let you know… your blog looks extremely strange in Safari on a Mac

    Not sure why, but some readers in Asia have told me they aren’t able to get the site up in Safari at all – Firefox works ok. My designer uses Safari in the USA and says she’s never had a problem.
