Last year I tied a disposable camera to a fence and left a little sign telling people to take pictures.  This is Part 2 of the results. (Part 1

Look forward to the inevitable testicle shots in Part 3!

This idea was stolen from The Plug, a fantastic online zine that you should definitely peruse.

Wonderful idea.

Lawyer, priest, doctor, politician, newspaperman—these are the quacks who have their fingers on the pulse of the world. A constant atmosphere of calamity. It’s marvelous. It’s as if the barometer never changed, as if the flag were always at half-mast. One can see now how the idea of heaven takes hold of men’s consciousness, how it gains ground even when all the props have been knocked from under it. There must be another world beside this swamp in which everything is dumped pell-mell. It’s hard to imagine what it can be like, this heaven that men dream about. A frog’s heaven, no doubt. Miasma, scum, pond lilies, stagnant water. Sit on a lily pad unmolested and croak all day. Something like that, I imagine.

Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer
