That was one of the causes of the BSE epidemic in British cattle. Feeding ground up spinal column and various recovered bits to other cows as feed.

Feeding animals their own kind is a big no-no, but it probably happens just about everywhere. It increases the chance of spreading a disease around, because if the pig being eaten had it, the pig eating it is going to be susceptible to it too. This is precisely why they didn't want anyone taking pictures of it.. it'd get them in quite a bit of trouble.

Serial killer in Vancouver disposed of bodies by feeding them to his pigs, just saying. On a much lighter note, very cool behind the scenes video of transworld snowboarding cover shot: http://vimeo.com/20546019

Does anyone know the photographer who did a typology of lots of different types of people? A sort of dictionary of style. They were loads of pictures, shot on a white background I think and the people were divided into cliques like punks and skaters.

Haha I do that poo poo all the time (put the camera to my eye with a lens cap on). How do those Leica work? Is it a window or a prism? Why was he adjusting focus?

EDIT:^^^ The rangefinder is coupled through the viewfinder by a connecting arm that rides on the back of the lens. You can still focus with the lens cap on. Not sure how he was managing to go that long without noticing the meter was giving a zero reading... That's it, he's out of the club.

Oh god, I think whoever I was shooting for would shoot me in the face (with a gun, not a camera). I guess I'm going into this really biased, because I've always viewed it as a gimmick. Maybe I'll try some street photography?

I haven't seen a single Lensbaby photo where I said to myself "wow, that really adds to the photo". They all end up looking like a lame photoshop effect. Just my two cents, though.

Amusingly enough, that Lensbaby effect looks pretty similar to the test roll I got back from my "new" Argus A. Early 1940s lens, center is vaguely sharp and everything else gets really blurry from spherical aberration. A lot of shots turned out lame because of it, but a few seemed to have some potential.

Dr. Cogwerks, that's basically the impression I get from it. It's a way for people who own dslrs who don't want to deal with film to get lo-fi quality. As someone who does shoot film now, it seems redundant and a little silly to do thing like make my 5dmkii look like a pinhole camera or holga or whatever.

If you plan for the effect when shooting, it could be useful in a pictorialist sort of way. Sounds like a lensbaby offers more control over the aberration than a regular ol' meniscus lens would. I'd call it a dumb gimmick if it's just being done for "omg holga ++++" flickr comments - but if that effect actually works for the intent of the shot, cool. Experimenting with your imagemaking process can be pretty worthwhile too.

I built my own out of an old Nikkor wideangle (an old 35mm lens gives you plenty of room for movement on a 1.5x crop, better off using a medium format lens if you're on full frame), it's a lot of fun but you can definitely overdo it. You can build your own for less than the cost of the Lensbaby, and it'll have better optics.

Did he make up those numbers? His pixel ratios aren't even close to the print ratios. 8/11=.73 1280/1500=.85 (8"x9.375" @ 160) 4/6=.66 675/850=.79 (4"x5" @ 169)
