Does this guy's camera go off at random? and I started wondering what the photos would be like if someone just carried around a camera that captured an image at random. And of course, I then thought why not find out? I put up a cryptic call for volunteers and got 23 people I'd never met from all across the U.S. and Canada who agreed to wear cameras around their necks for two days. Over the weekend of June 13th and 14th I sent eleven SMS text messages at random times to everybody in the group and they pressed the shutter buttons on their camera, photographing whatever happened to be in front of them at that moment. I "took" 266 photographs that way, 83 of which are in the gallery. No Leica's were harmed during the photography. Kc
