the smokin' corner by bucketofbeer. looks like the whole city uses this area for one thing.

Thanks to Adam, I now know why this camera is here. Well, I knew it was used in some Art Gallery exhibit, but no one would tell me more than that. Here's more: http://eyesoflaura.org. This is the site created by Vancouver artist, Janet Cardiff. The website is her pretending to be a VAG security guard who has leaked control of this camera to the public. And she blogs her sightings. Her sightings are staged events.

So, thanks to Janet for getting this camera where it is and letting the world use it. like us. yeah. now send me more images!!

"My Camera is Cooler than Your Camera"
by russ

so, this is my new blog. this blog is not about my pictures... it's about yours! but you can't use your camera. nor my camera. you gotta use this camera:

http://dontyoudarecloseyoureyes.com/VAGcam.htm

this camera is mounted on the Vancouver Art Gallery. I don't know why or what for. the rumour is that is was once part of an art exhibit. You should save the link to this camera, because I might delete it from here someday. depends how busy it gets.

YOUR JOB: your job is to use the camera. it's fun. it's not like a real job that way. and when you see something cool, take a screenshot, then crop it, then send it to me - gwilli@gmail.com . if you don't know how to do screenshots, see the blog entry titled "screenshots for beginners". once I recieve your images, I will post them and the fun goes on from there. the rating can be done via the comments.

y'all down with this?? then get started!!! it's for anyone. I don't care if I know you or not. just do it! the judging will be based on anything and everything. here are some suggestions on what might make your capture better then average:
-yourself or someone you know
-people participating in illegal activities
-car accidents
-indecent exposure
-wildlife
-cool cars (no mustangs!)
-nose pickers

I will only accept jpgs or gifs. if you want to submit a series, that's cool. just not too many pics. if you want to make an animated gif, do it. the only thing that matters here is that people actually send me some pics. or it will not work. dig?

ok, here's a sample:
