Subpet camera design #15
Across the holidays, our thoughts look to religion and ultimately to redemption, or penitence depending on our outlook. As an opera–lover (I'd just love to go to the Met again), this particular variation looks at life with open eyes as in the Wagner's opera, Tannhauser. I remember sitting in the orchestra section enthralled by the colors of the cyclorama from this opera as the chorus of pilgrims crossed the stage. This opera's theme of redemption spanning across life's journey is architecturally depicted by the bridge cables connecting and holding up the cameras. The street photographer walks on a very lonely pilgrimage like a penitent seeking and convinced only by miracles, or in his case stunning photographs. Here in this mischievous twin sunpet configuration, he is sure to find his way. When your subject on the street looks at you, they will surely feel your pain. Though in the opera the pilgrim's staff is held with two hands, the camera's single handle on the bottom is for one hand while the other clicks the twin shutters. Your subjects on the street will be heartened by the miraculous sprouting leaves of the twin staff, and they will know in their heart of hearts, that they have just had their errant picture taken by a redeemed person.
