These are placeholder images while my camera returns to rehab. I think the problem may be one of malaise. Here’s this amazing camera, brain the size of a small planet, and I tell it to take pictures of flowers and bugs. Call that job satisfaction? It also complains a lot about terrible pain in the diodes down its left side.
In the meantime, here are more imaging experiments with the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Scanner with GPP ® (Genuine People Personality) technology. They are almost, but not quite, entirely unlike real photographs.
With apologies to Douglas Adams.
