The Camera Obscura: Not a lost art after all.

This guy, Abelardo Morell, works with the out-dated camera obscura, and produces some amazing work. The photos are taken with a camera on "bulb" setting, to allow for longer exposure. I would kill to have some of these images on my wall at all times. The fact that they are upside down (just one of those crazy things that happens in photography) makes them far more intriguing. If you've got some time on your hands, cruise around his site. The Alice in Wonderland photos are stunning. They're done with a format camera, which is incredibly expensive and way beyond my own expertise. Also, he's a photo professor at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. I wish he were MY professor!
