For people who like photographs. "Several years ago, I built my first homemade digital camera. The idea was simple - I would take an ordinary flatbed scanner, and use it in place of photo paper with a large format camera."

Damn you Metafilter's "I Love Tacos". Now everyone is going to think I got this from metafilter. I didn't. I got it from Slashdot.

But I saw it here first, and I think we can all agree that this is what really matters.

I really love the cityscapes. I guess I'm less impressed with the portrait or people images, just because I'm accustomed to seeing similar photos that have been manually manipulated to create these sorts of effects.

What a great idea, and I wish I had thought of it first. Everything looks so otherworldly.
