Scanner Photography
This is so cool. I'm thinking of picking up another old Brownie and a cheap scanner so I can try it out myself.

Okay...The scanner is supported by SANE. It's a UMAX Astra 610s. It's SCSI, but SCSI-1. http://www.bixnet.com/6ftexscsicab1.html for connection to a laptop. Where do you get the camera? SANE looks like it allows you to control where the corners of the scanner bed, so any camera will work, even a hacked 35mm? How low buck can we make it? Disposable cameras?
Also, the link is no more, I think the Slashdot effect has worn off. I feel bad for the guy. It would be most courteous for people who post links on slashdot to warn the owners, Slashdot to do it's own mirroring, something for these poor people.
The camera can be almost anything, including a pinhole camera if you like. I would be most interested in trying this with a Kodak Brownie since they're cheap (less than $10 on eBay) and they're hackable. What I don't understand right now is how the camera is mated to the scanner.
