IMPOSSIBLE PHOTOGRAPHY
May 4, 2008 | Filed Under art, photo | Leave a Comment
I figured out how to use the “photomerge” tool in photoshop today - it’s pretty neat. I spun around in a circle while taking lots of pictures in my bedroom, ran the program on “auto” and this is what it came up with. (I did clean it up a bit by cropping the weird amoeba shape into a square).
It’s not perfect - there are a lot of photos that it couldn’t figure out the placement on. But I was pretty impressed with what it could do on it’s own - the floor especially is made up of probably 10 or 15 separate photos, which the program stitched together pretty flawlessly. That weird blob in the middle is my feet.
I actually had a different “view” in mind while taking the pictures, and the program will allow you to manually place the photos in the layout you want, which it will attempt to blend as best as it can. The result is not as smoothed, but it still works, and it’s a completely different effect. View it large on my flickr to see what I mean.

acquired the big one from a frat boy on his way to the beach for spring break - he sold it to me for beer money. thanks, craigslist! the little one is borrowed from mark. i’m hoping these things will make me a more effective recording artist.

Old friend Kelly Kleinschrodt is a photographer / filmmaker in los angeles who I know from Alabama days. I just got the link to her portfolio, {via zach sierke} and I’m super impressed. Zach also sent along a bunch of Kelly’s ((really great)) newer photos not yet on her website, so keep an eye out for updates.

I found Found Magazine’s website. It’s wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. I wish I still had the amazing note that was left on my car by some Savannah vandals after they wrecked the deer skull I had attached to my bumper. It was hilarious. I can’t remember what it said exactly, but I loved it and I saved it, but it’s vanished by now into the ether. Maybe it’ll turn up again one day and I’ll send it in to Found Mag. Here’s what they’re all about:
We collect found stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids’ homework, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, doodles- anything that gives a glimpse into someone else’s life. Anything goes.We certainly didn’t invent the idea of found stuff being cool. Every time we visit our friends in other towns, someone’s always got some kind of unbelievable discovered note or photo on their fridge. We decided to make a bunch of projects so that everyone can check out all the strange, hilarious and heartbreaking things people have picked up and passed our way.
You should read the rest of the about page… the note that started it all is pretty great… and then check out some of the finds, complete with brief explanations of the context in which they were discovered.This is my favorite one for today:
Ralph’s NoteFOUND by Jennifer in New York, New YorkI had been playing my music (which can get pretty odd at times) one night in my apartment. The next day, I woke up to a lot of sounds outside my door. I opened my door to see paramedics taking away my neighbor. He had died, apparently during the night.
By the way, we lucky Atlantans can pick up the yearly paper version of the magazine at Criminal Records... Just so you know. I’m gonna be looking for it.God, i love this stuff.
