I have a new camera, and I don't know what to do with it. It's to replace two cameras I have. That makes four cameras in all. Two of which have never been used: this new one and a 35mm one the insurance company gave me after I washed my Pentax inside a duty-free carrier bag with two bottles of Italian red. It was well and truly obsolete by that time and I never could find love for the replacement model they sent.
Anyway, enough of this crap.
Isn't this photograph wonderful! It's by Becky Vigor, The Art of Zinkibaru. (We've met before but I found her this time using 'next blog', starting at Ellis Nadler...)

the chair: an idea
In quiet moments I'll sometimes click on the next blog link on the blogger bar above. I don't do it from here. I do it from Ellis Nadler's blog because I've been doing it for a while and starting from his blog normally gives more interesting results than others, no doubt by content association. Often I thought I ought to post some of the interesting blogs I've found by this method but I'm lazy, and people should do their own lokking, and if anyone really wants to know, I hide them in the link mosaic at the end of the sidebar.
Anyway, I found Galen's Manspace and I'm intrigued by his vertical marble roller (I wish there was a video). I love machines, and I love art, so what's not to like with a vertical marble roller.
I wish I had the time to develop this idea along my own lines. Two things came to mind; there must be a visual and an audible element to this which can be separated. the idea I have is for a chair - credit to my blog mate Steve for this post - incorporating a marble roller. The first device, a helter-skelter, would wrap itself around the sitter's head thus, if the sitter closed their eyes, they would hear the sound passing around their head. The second device comprises a wall, not unlike the one in the contemplation chair, but constructed from marble rollers. There would need to be some random element in the way the marbles were released but I feel the effect will either be infuriating or relaxing, and I don't mind which.
