In the Deutsche Museum in Munich, this staircase has a small hole at the top. Light from the sun is focused with a lens assembly and projected onto a circular screen at the bottom, where you can look for spots on the surface of the sun.

I keep seeing boat-out-of-water photos on flickr, so I was excited to be able to contribute my own. No special processing was used to make this.

Sunday Driver

So the police call me at home at 9:30 AM Sunday morning ... and tell me my car was involved in an accident. My first panicky thought was "what'd I do?" and my second was "what'd my car do without me?" and my third was to grab my camera as I dash out the door and up the hill. I am greeted by the scene you see here.

The SFPD just wants me to move my car (not shown), which was parked seven feet away from the modern sculpture you see above. My vehicle was just an innocent bystander.

Somehow the driver managed to build this little masterpiece while backing out of his driveway Sunday morning. My car (not pictured) needed to move so they could fit the tow truck in there for some artistic deconstruction.

No one was injured in the accident (whew).

The presumed owners of the BMW 2002 (shown on its side), in pajamas, were present sitting on their steps -- they had parked in front of their house. She was sobbing on the telephone as the police dropped flares to block off the street. Neighbors and joggers stood around and tried to reverse-engineer the physics.

The driver was an older man, with handicapped plates. He called the police.

See where this picture was taken. [?]

Some brightly lit offices in Chicago at 4 AM

The windows here don't open more than a few inches wide, probably for legal reasons. Unfortunately the gap is not quite wide enough to permit the camera. For this series I had to attach the lens outside the window, so the camera could pass through sideways.
