Off-camera flash as High Art: Julius von Bismark, an artist in Berlin, is playing with snap-happy tourists by injecting words into their photos. He cut a hole in the back of an old film camera and stuck a slaved flash into it. By writing words onto transparent plastic and sliding the sheet into a slot near the film plane, the whole rig now works backwards and becomes a projector. By leaving the shutter open and slaving the rear flash, he can now project those words onto the subject of someone else’s photo when their flash trips his flash. ![http://bp1.blogger.com/_Bf48JKOl5HQ/SGKXKVFgXNI/AAAAAAAAApE/-68JoBG3IA4/s400/raf.jpg](http://bp1.blogger.com/_Bf48JKOl5HQ/SGKXKVFgXNI/AAAAAAAAApE/-68JoBG3IA4/s400/raf.jpg) ---

Very inconspicuous. :snky: I’m amazed no one said anything about that grenade launcher looking thing. Maybe lots of people put pistol grips on their cameras?
