Camera obscura in Rovaniemi

Turing my room into a camera obscura seems to have caught on in some of the photography department here at the University of Lapland, which is great! During a meeting with Michael Jacob's we turned the class room into a camera obscura, we got some great results after much work to try and make the room as light tight as possible. Although, little colour could be seen in the projection, lots could be seen in the images taken. We went on to experiment with long exposures and light on the projections. The ideas have given me a lot to think about for my own work.

I went into university the next day and found out that some of Michael Jacob's other photography students had seen out experiment and decided to turn their rooms into camera obscuras! I have never created such a rush for people to do things before and it has given me great excitement to continue with my work and let as many people as possible become involved.
