Sony Cybershot inside Leica II body

Posted: May 14, 2010 in Uncategorized

My apologies for the lack of content over the past while;
Projects from home, exams in Hong Kong and a death close to the family have kept my mind other places, but with the exams finished, the project nearing completion and slowly coming to terms with the death, the blog will be returning to it’s usual slow pace shortly.

One thing that really caught my eye during the week was this video of a Sony Cybershot stuffed inside an old Leica II body. I really like the juxtaposition of the old and the new, but I sincerely hope that the Leica internals were beyond repair before being gutted.
The practicality of the modern combined with the appeal of the retro is very interesting, it will certainly be a project that I will be looking further into when I get home.
It might also make a nice pairing to my new photography obsession, because as of late, i’ve become more and more interested in lomography, analog film, experimental cameras and most importantly, just having fun playing with my camera and trying new things, here are a few examples…

This reminds me, I must sign up for a FlickR account soon, as currently the widget on the right ->
Is set to select random FlickR photos…we can’t be having that now : )

KTHXBAI!
