Camera Obscura

So I wasn't able to make it to the Camera Obscura with the group so I ended up cruisin' over there by myself. So I parked my car out front of the Inova studio and conitinued to try and get out of my car.. but for some reason the curb is really high over there and I had quite a struggle to get out. After I finally hauled my butt out of my car I clumsily fumbled for change to plug the meter. Alas, I made it inside the building..

Curiously, I walked into the black hole behind the curtain and was pleasantly surprised by what I saw.. I felt like I was in a new little world in there. There was one other person in the room with me and they gave me a very awkward look. A little confused I looked at the wall to find that right in the middle of the obscura was my car. So, apparently this obscura viewer had the pleasure of witnessing my sad attempt at getting out of my car. :/

Well, after he left I had free rain to observe the obscura all alone. It's pretty amazing actually, it was kind of like watching a movie, with the all cars driving by, and people walking by.. it just really put me in a trance. All I could think was that it was 'live art', where there was something new every minute to keep the art 'alive'. Pretty nifty.
