Now there is new hope for blind photographers!
I am working on a fully articulated robotic digital view camera, complete with algorithisms that has nearly every masterwork by virtually every famous photographer in its database. GPS, real time monitor. Auto perspective, auto movements (focus), and naturally, auto exposure. If you are a sighted photographer, you can turn the camera on and send it out to shoot, looking through the remote on your computer screen and compose yourself. For the unsighted, simply turn on the camera in auto mode, and let the camera utilize the algorithisms to make its own images. It comes complete with a bad picture alert (which right now sounds like a truck backing up).
If working in the monitored mode, it also has an uplink to the copyright office in DC and can let you lnow if you are close to infringement. (Four different warnings can appear. #1 Close but OK #2 getting dangerously close to another image #3 lawsuit being prepared right now #4 why don't you just scan (insert famous photographers name here_________) image and put your name on it?"))
If you admire John Sextons work, Just program "mode Sexton" and it will provide images in the Sexton style. Or if you prefer abstact, just hit "mode Siskind". Of course all "the majors" have their own mode, Ansel, Wyn Bullock etc. (caution is urged for children when using the "mode Meatyard" as they may find the images may be frightening and "mode Mapplethorpe" comes with a standard decency warning indicating that the results may be objectionable to some)
Now the unsighted or the "sighted challenged" can make images as good as Muench, Dykinga, or Sextion. Simply enter the desired location on the GPS, hit the power switch and go back to sleep! All from the comfort of your resort hotel room.
This unique view camera will not be offered in any of the usual photography markets; it will only be retailed through the Sharper Image. Orders being taken now!!
