Jealous of this disaster

This is one of the strangest photos I've ever seen. It comes courtesy of Joshua Heineman, and is titled "Camera Death." It is supposedly the last shot ever taken with one of his digital cameras before it died. It's one of my faves. I highly recommend his site, as well, which includes a study on something I am also getting into: Cataloguing of old museum photos and "stereoscopic" images. He's nailed it, and made me think twice on even moving on in the field. His are so cool, so haunting and awe-unsparing, It makes me think twice. Bravo. (Also, Josh has one of the coolest, art-of-all-flavors "E-zines" you'll ever find. I especially dig the "lost & found 35mm slides" feature. It's basically a fella named Jason Cawood, who found a bunch of old slide trays with pix in them in Canada. He saved them from the trash at a thrift store and shows the best of the lot. Total time machines. It's in Issue #1.)
