Welcome to my blog about camera hacking for artistic purposes! It will probably start out as a means for myself to document brainstorming ideas and inspiration in this field. I will write about other people’s hacks as well as my own. And the topics will include (but not be restricted to) processes, creative control, optical hacking, medium hacking, data path hacking, film vs digital sensors (!), selection and masking techniques, light leaks, toy cameras, light and flash control, firmware and PCB customizations…

The camera can be used in many different ways as part of a creative process, but the focus on this blog will be on the hacks and customizations people make to their equipment in order to for example achieve “The Special Effect” or to document their projects (like time lapse or custom triggered exposures).

I’m not familiar with any blog with the same focus as this one (please let me know if you’ve seen one!) but there are ofcourse a lot of other related blogs. Some of my favourite hang-outs are Four Corners Dark, Hack a Day, Make: blog, Craftzine: blog, Arduino blog, Adafruit blog and of course the good ol’ we make money not art

Please get in touch if you have any suggestions for this blog! Either add comments or send mails using my contact information on my site.
