Who says a good camera has to cost a lot of money. When this guy got GAS he took matters into his own hands and came up with this:

I think it's pretty neat.

What an interesting website. I'm not especially taken by his photos, but he seems to be a very fun and fascinating person to hang around with.

That's a really cool website. I especially like the lego integrated polaroid. I guess I'm gonna do something like that. Thanks for the link!

Hey, this is good! I've got a Lego Robotics Invention System lying around, it's the stuff that comes with a bunch of sensors, motors and a large brick with a microcontroller in it. I've been thinking about something photography with it for ages, but couldn't come up with anything more interesting than automated panorama platforms and so forth.. This sets a whole new level of challenge..

Way cool camera, I think, but have you priced Legos lately? Unfortuneately garage sale season is just about over around here so I'll have to content myself with the Lego Designer software( should be fun!) until the spring when I can go searching for second hand sets.

Careful! You don't want that lego GAS to build up over the winter ;)

Obviously I was wrong. I only thought I had seen it all.

Kind of neat at that though.

I try to not let any GAS build up, just ask my friends... :rolleyes:
