TORTUGA 5 – panoramic pinhole camera

Excerpt:

Today I found RetroThing.com and started looking at retro cameras. Lo and behold I discovered the TORTUGA 5, a panoramic pinhole camera that shoots five images onto 120mm film.

Battlestar Galactica tears the roof off the sucker…

Excerpt:

Last week’s episode was phenomenal! I was getting worried because this season started out weak, but “Guess What’s Coming for Dinner?” (episode 7 of season 4) is a return to the show’s peak form.

Iron Man earned universal praise, now bring on the backlash!

Excerpt:

How great a thing looks depends on the viewer’s perspective, and Jon Favreau‘s Iron Man movie is no exception. If you’re expecting a serious, gritty take on a tormented anti-hero like Batman Begins you will be disappointed. If your benchmarks are the cartoonish and sloppy Fantastic Four movies you will want Iron Man given an [...]
