The camera obscura was a pretty amazing sight. I never knew that a single hole, with a little attention, could produce the image from the outside. I have even gone ahead and tried it at home so far, well, with minimal luck that is.
I really can see why Ethan would stray away from a single shot images of a camera for this different approach to show images. At Kenilworth, some of the classmates disscussed how he should give the outside a image, or produce a scene on the street to be projected. Though a great idea, we saw Prof. Bogner strutting around the front of the building and some other students doing cart-wheels. For the first time, I saw people engaging with a picture, creating it their own; to some extent.
The time lapsing was my favorite part of the trip. I really thought the clouds projected on a ceiling was a fantastic idea, and a great piece of modern art. I really would like to make something like that at my own home, either projecting the sky or my backyard full of little gnomes and such to make my room look cool. A neat idea I thought of right away was to project water from the outside in and onto the ceiling. An ever-changing ceiling design would blow the lid off visitors and friends. Also, being as cheap or as expensive as one wants it to be, who wouldn't want to try some home experiments with light technology.

I agree, he should sell his works and make them futuristic...like make them imbedded in walls or something, so that anyone who wants a cool room can project it on his walls and you'd be in a new spot every day. Makes life more interesting lol
