Film is called Vergogna Schifosi. I've been booked for years and I have the movie now...
"I recently discovered this fascinating website where Matt Gatton demonstrates his hypothesis that the earliest extant evidence of human visual representation suggests the possibility of accidental camera-obscura caused by pinholes made in the hides used to construct tents and/or cover earth dwellings for ventilation and light."
I had very little trouble setting up the intervalometer script for a PowerShot SX120 IS using the CHDK hack for all their point and shoot cameras. The nice thing is that it can be purchased with an AC adapter, so it could potentially do a several week time-lapse on a single 16GB Card. Zahner purchased the camera so we can show some buildings being skinned, or so that we can show the way that the shop produces the systems that ultimately make these wild buildings possible. This was a very frustrating search to find a good camera setup for doing time-lapse. I didn't want the camera to be tied to a computer. I'm posting this because it would have been nice to know that the Canon P&S cameras are all pretty much able to do time-lapse with the CHDK Firmware updates, and you can do anything from every few seconds to a picture every few hours, with custom delays, etc.
This is in the Zahner office, Gary Davis and I on a Saturday morning.
I have two writing states when generating new material. A fresh thought and an edited thought. The fresh thought state is when I’m staring at a blank page and starting a new article or chapter. The edited thought state is when I’m firing up an incomplete article and picking up where I let off.
Starting, in both states, is tricky, but it’s trickier picking up the editing state because I’m lacking the original raw motivation that caused me to fire up TextEdit and attack a blank page. My move in acquiring my train of thought is to re-read what I’ve already written and then retype the last two or three paragraphs of the existing work. This is usually enough of an exercise to kick off the mental dust.
