i remember finding out about
abelardo morell a few years ago while i was studying photography in school. he's a cuban-born photographer/artist with the best ideas about how to use the
camera obscura. i love love LOVE his camera obscura series, and so, even though he's done some other amazing projects, that is what i shall feature today. these make me want to paint garden murals and landscapes on my walls. there is something baroque about these photographs—they are so full of ornate detail, but if you look closely, most of that detail is just being projected onto the walls of a mostly empty room. and do look closely....
