Harinezumi Camera
Digital Harinezumi: Lo-fi coolness! USA Video Blog from Some Like It Shot on Vimeo.
"Creating warm, dreamy and surprising videos, the tiny Harinezumi camera by Superheadz was inspired by the Super 8mm silent film of the '60s and can take two hours of footage (without sound), whilst being compact enough to carry with you just about anywhere. Don't feel like filming? The Harinezumi also takes colour-saturated, dreamy still photos." - Urban Outfitters
Hard to find in the UK at the moment and expensive to ship from the US but this camera is what I am looking at for the Dreamland Visual Research project and could also be used in Photography in Context for the next project.

- Early C19, painter did portraits
- After early C19, middle class could afford photographs
- Mimetic way, more lifelike
- Degas, impressionist and not middle of the road
- Too radical to be art. Codes and conventions
- Oil was mixed as needed and difficult to use out of studio
- Photography allowed capture of fleeting moment
- using a photo could help see unusual poses etc
- Preparation for painting
- Caillebotte: Paris Street, Rainy Day (1877)
- Aaron Siskind: Chicago (1948)
- Abstract expressionism, texture and form
- Jackson Pollock huge canvasses
- Gerhard Richter, paintings that look photographic
- Joel Peter Witkin: dead body
- Raft of the Medusa: metaphor for George W Bush
- Gregory Scott: paintings in his photos
- Michael Fajan: Zero Sum Game
- Environment that is predominently mixed-media
- Chance to experiment is now as an Undergraduate
