a looking-glass book

so there is a review of the new samsung camera in the nyt today. perhaps my favorite snippet from the article:

"This arrangement opens up a world of new recording possibilities, because you don't need two hands - or any hands at all - to hold the camera. Nor do you have to watch the viewfinder or screen; this camera looks wherever you're looking. In other words, this external-lens affair allows the camera operator, for the first time in consumer camcorders, to be a participant in the action instead of a spectator."

this means something. this is important.

and all random quotes aside -- this is big. people are starting to notice. even better, there is a consumer product out there now, that, even though it's (by all accounts) pretty shitty, is allowing people to realize first-hand all the things i discovered over the last year.

it really is a different way of capturing. of remembering.

here's to v2 of this camera.
