This fully working toy camera takes 16mm film on a paper backing. Before taking it with me on a short trip to Rome, I re-rolled some expired 16mm FP4 film onto an original backing paper. There are copious amounts of dust on the film, and various scratches and other blemishes, but for me they add to the charm of the images from this tiny, very simple working toy.
Il decadimento fa parte dell'essere. Tutto decade, crolla, si disfa. Ma questo decadimento è un frammento di noi.
Every individual making an origami bird to one making a giant robotic arm is considered a maker and Maker Fest celebrates this epiphany of innovators, creators and designers ranging from a weaving artist to a rocket scientist. It is the platform for people who create magic using the technology hidden under the roof. Stretching from every corner of India, it is all about developing a great maker community in the country where people can learn and share in depth about the art. It is a trigger to a giant explosion of creativity that buzzes inside every innovator to showcase the resourcefulness of possessed knowledge by implementing it to a greater use.

Oculus Quest - August 2020: Family fun with a virtual reality gaming gadget that I won in a competition.
Inside the Pantheon looking up. This was the only source of natural light. I tried going here at different times of the day since the light was always different. I even went when it was raining and rain came in through the opening in the dome. The floor has small drainage holes to accommodate the rain and that section of the floor is sectioned off.
Well it took me about 6 months to get my 3D apparatus. There is now some programs to make this happen even with my mac...more 3D180 VR stuff coming in next couple of months. In fact it was so difficult to work with that material, not knowing how it does look actually. (did have a look and it seems to be OK, but there is room for the improvement)

The oculus (opening to let sunlight in) and ceiling of the Pantheon in Rome, Italy. Taken with a Leica M2 with a Cosina Voigtländer Heliar 15/4.5 super wide lens on Kodak TMax 400 film delveloped in Xtol 1:1.
Oculus and dome of the Pantheon
(Built in 125 A.D., the dome of the Pantheon served as Filippo Brunelleschi's inspiration and model for this Renaissance dome of Florence's Santa Maria del Fiore, which in turn inspired Michelangelo's dome of St. Peter's Basilica)

Honeymoon, Day 12
The skylight that runs the length of the Oculus roof. The skylight is opened every year on September 11 or if needed to provide air ventilation.
The Oculus was built to maximize the effects of the autumnal equinox rays (when the sun crosses the celestial equator) that occurs in September.
The roof was originally designed to mechanically open but that design was eliminated due to budget and space constraints.

A shot across the oculus. Again, the contrast between the vivid ornateness of the interior dome and the grey practicality of the exterior dome is striking.
