 ABELARDO MORELL</strong></p> <p>Photographer <a href="http://www.abelardomorell.net/" title="Abelardo Morell" target="_blank"><strong>Abelardo Morell</strong></a> - “I made my first picture using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura" target="_blank"><em><strong>camera obscura</strong></em></a> techniques in my darkened living room in 1991. In setting up a room to make this kind of photograph, I cover all windows with black plastic in order to achieve total darkness. Then, I cut a small hole in the material I use to cover the windows. This opening allows an inverted image of the view outside to flood onto the back walls of the room. Typically then I focused my large-format camera on the incoming image on the wall then make a camera exposure on film. In the beginning, exposures took from five to ten hours”.
