My prototype just popped up on a site in New Zealand!

My prototype just popped up on a site in New Zealand!  This encourages me to develop both field cameras, so I can share the results and encourage others to experiment with camera building (and wet collodion).

According to this article, rents are going up over 30% in the building with the best collection of art galleries downtown... including the one I work with.  :(

Brilliant research!


Brilliant research! If we see the outcomes of both negotiating and NOT negotiating, and realize that female hires are punished both ways, we know the problem is with the hiring process itself.

Author of the studies that gave rise to the “women don’t ask” industry - Linda Babcock herself - has shown that women don’t negotiate for a very simple reason: they sense – correctly – that it will hurt them if they do.

Now I want access to a giant rotator. Not right now, but I'm sure I can find a good use for one.

Turning the Place Over, 2007-2011 engineering art

This consisted of an 8 metres diameter ovoid cut from the façade of a disused building in Liverpool, England, and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving part of the façade rested on a specially designed giant rotator, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries. When at rest the ovoid section of façade would fit flush into the rest of the building. As it rotates, the facade will not only become completely inverted but will also oscillate into the building and out into the street, revealing the interior of the building, and only being flush with the building at one point during its rotation. via • goo.gl/p8Q5t
