Eclipse Shirt (02 Aug 2008)

I captured the eclipse with a pinhole and making a shadow on an object when I was a kid. I never tried to make multiple pictures using something with multiple holes like a kitchen strainer though. Making a shirt with the strainer eclipse would make an interesting conservation piece to wear on leisure occasions however. :P

Hi Orin,

I had a few silly inspirations from this APOD... "kitchen strainer"

1. No strain on the eyes
2. Some semblance of what a fly on the wall might see
3. Good advertisement for holy strainers (strainers with holes)
4. I’m beginning to strain already…
5. Somewhat interesting, otherwise bland t-shirt
6. Eclipses inspire creative behavior in humans
7. Makes a good paint ball target

Hi Ed! A fly type vision would be confusing to use for navigation; yet a fly is very evasive when trying to swat one.

Hi Arramon! How does conservative conversation work? :shock:
