So, if I’m going to be completely honest (which I just decided I am going to be), I’m kind of a closet photo nerd. What this means exactly..I don’t know, essentially I love taking photos, as well as admiring them. So when I stumbled across this, I was pretty amazed. “Reconscious” (flickr username) has managed to re-invent the wheel if you will in terms of the good-ol pass time of painting with light. Sometimes..actually…all the time, the ingenuity of the human brain amazes me. An LED light was attached to a modern day R2D2 known as a Roomba (robot-vaccum thing), and the shutter of a DSLR was left open. The result was an extremely visually aesthetically pleasing image. What I found particularly interesting was how effective the little thing was in making it around practically the entire room. From geometric shapes, to the cookie-cutter image of the floor space that was left, the photo as a whole was pretty solid. On a side note, my idea of making a robot assistant/best friend is looking more and more possible.
