Camera Obscura


No, it’s not a mural! This is a picture created by Abelardo Morell using his very unique camera obscura techniques. This one is entitled “View of the Brooklyn Bridge in Bedroom, 2009,” and is from his gallery at http://www.abelardomorell.net/photography/recent_01/recent_01.html

This is just one of many examples of this artist’s incredible body of work. Morell is best known for camera obscura images created at various places around the world by turning an entire room or in other cases a tent into a big pinhole camera that projects an image on a wall or the ground which he then photographs.

If you are as intrigued as I am by this unusual work check out his web site for a wealth of unbelievable photographic images that cannot be found anywhere else.
