Origami Photography [permanent link]: The Papercams website is the work of a photographer with a difference: he uses only film; literally. By folding pieces of undeveloped film (origami) in the dark, he has created pin-hole cameras out of film and then exposes them. The result are unusual photos that also contain streaks of stray light. This gallery of photos shows some of his remarkable work.

I have often encountered interesting news or websites that I would like to bring to people's attention. The most natural way I could think of doing so without coming up with a full directory-style website like the Google Directory is to use a weblog.

A weblog is a time-organised diary of webpages which can be used to put whatever the author wishes to put on the page. So, whenever I find something interesting that I like to make a note of, I would put it down in a weblog entry.

Some people may ask why I am not using weblog systems like Blogger to put up my weblog. Well, I have several reasons:

The weblog will be on somebody else's website (like Blogger's) instead of my own where I can easily cross-reference entries to parts of my website if necessary
Some weblogs require the installation of various tools to set up the weblog system, which I would rather avoid unless I have to
Some weblogs system do not produce valid HTML code or produces HTML code that I do not feel is correct. Since I don't have control over how the HTML will be produce, I can't correct it
I though it would be an interesting thing to roll out my own weblog system

So, here is my weblog of thoughts and interesting stuff that I have found on the web. Enjoy.
