What would you be
prepared to do in order to be the center of attention? What would you allow
yourself to go through just to have all the photographer’s lenses aimed at you? I guess the answer to that question varies, depending on who
you ask. Unfortunately, I know people who
would walk over corpses in
order to become the focal point if only for a week. Some people don’t care
about the attention at all though. It’s a crazy world we live in, and people never
stop surprising me. However, when it comes to the number of lenses pointing at you, few can match the
intensity of focus that the Camera Van showcases. This
particular vehicle might not look like an expensive
car, but that’s where you are wrong.
That fact is, if you
combine the ‘off the shelf’ prices
for all the parts added to this camera van, you will quickly rack up a pretty
good chunk of money. It so
happens that the owner of this car, Harrod Blank, has
been working on it since 1993. That is a long time to accumulate the necessary
parts to cover a van of this size. It seems like a few of the cameras actually
work, and the lenses pointed at this camera van will always be met by a
thousand lenses pointed back at them.
It’s a neat project
that is drumming up a lot of attention wherever it goes. People from around the
world have been taking pictures
of this peculiar camera van, and it has also been seen in several movies and
books throughout the years. It’s more like an art project than anything else.
If you are a photographer, you will most definitely find some eye-catching
stuff attached to this camera
van, and you will most likely be able to check
it out for hours at end. You are probably wondering what the
purpose of this camera van is, and I can only tell you that the purpose might
be to show that this is possible. Art doesn’t always have to be explained, it
only has to be viewed.
