STRANGE EXPOSURE?
A photographer in the USA caught taking pictures of himself in a cemetery, without any clothes, was trying to photograph spirits. Robert T. Hurst 47, was recorded by security cameras set up to catch vandals at a cemetery in south Mississippi.
He said he was in the cemetery conducting his year-long hobby, orb photography, which involves capturing circles of light at night, some of which appear to be faces. Hurst claimed he was naked because the skin can be the best canvas for such photography. The photographer faced a charge of indecent exposure.
From an article in the 21 January 2011 edition of Amateur Photographer magazine.

It's only exposure if there's light, right? But I do wonder why he felt he needed to be naked.
ReplyDeleteA strange one Christine. That's why I have included it. A very strange one, but seeing as there was only one person involved (a little comical as well as kind of spooky). Thank you for posting a comment.
ReplyDeleteHow odd! Seems a bit harsh for him to face charges though... as you say, there was only him involved!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jade. It does seem rather odd, and unfair that he his facing any charges (seeing that it was only him involved). A strange one indeed.
