Camera Toss
A new sport of a new camera technique? “This is a “technique” group, and the technique here is regarded by some as insanity. For we are the reckless folks on flickr that enjoy the abstract, chance, generative, physical photography that results from throwing our cameras into the air (most often at night in front of varied light sources). It is about trading risk for reward in the pursuit of art. It is not about being a photographer, it is about enabling the photography that happens naturally when you let go of the process, give up control, and add a hell of a lot more variables. It is about physics, gravity, angular momentum, acceleration, direction, chaos, and timing… most of which you have tenuous control of at best!” So, take a look at the photos in the Camera Toss Group, subscribe to the cameratoss RSS feed, check out the official Camera Toss Blog and go throw your camera in the air…if you dare!
