Making a boat into a camera! An exciting project by artist & photographer Steve Rayner to record a journey on an 18th century piece of civil engineering (the Leeds Liverpool Canal) using a popular 18th Century optical device (the camera obscura).Featuring Narrowboat “Rahab” and a cast of assorted volunteers, Steve will navigate his narrowboat from Leeds canal basin, to Skipton canal basin, with his camera recording the journey as it unfolds. This is intended to be a participatory project, and visitors are welcome, and may be necessary to help with some parts of the journey. Bring your cameras, bring some biscuits or cakes “I’ll have the kettle on permanently”, join in and see how the most basic of cameras works – and how to make one yourself. A diary will be posted on my blog – http://steverayner.blogspot.com/ and on Flickr – http://www.flickr.com/photos/lightscrambler/ The journey will be taking place whatever the weather, rain or shine.
