Mei camera obscura.
Fresh from the in box:
I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you to cease and desistin the usage of your "Grantcam." You see, I’m Grant… Ihave a camera, granted, it’s not a web cam, but still…obviously mine is the true Grantcam. I searched all overyour lovely little site for your date of birth, but couldn’tfind it anywhere. I’m sure I’m older than you, so my camerais probably older than yours and therefore would have beennamed first. It’s all about longevity…you know it, I knowit… and the cameras sure as heck know it!!Anyhow…that’s that then.Enjoy your weekend, and your Hutchinsoncam, as I’m sureyou’ll be referring to it from this point forward!Grant CummingsElmore, Ohio
Well, Mr Grant Cummings from Elmore, Ohio — if that’s your real name — you must realize that most government agencies and publicly funded arts groups actually hold the rights to the term ‘grant’, so we both may be out of luck. For the record, I landed on this big blue marble in 1963 (Ha! Top that!) and the Grantcam has been in commission serving up the occasionally embarrassing, but always pointless, image of my mug since July 1996 (Double ha!). Prior to this internet thing smacking me upside the head, I was in fact a photographer. And you know what that means… I used a camera. A Grantcam as well. So there.
