Japanese Railway Train Panoramas

Kazumi Namiki uses a slit camera to capture panoramic pictures onto a whole roll of film. He uses his slit camera to take photographs of Japanese railway trains; lots and lots of trains. [via boingboing]
I can't say I'm quite as... obsessed by railway trains as he is, but the animation of the individual trains is very clever. I like being able to "page thru" the cars but to alternately see them as I would expect to were I standing by the side of the track.

I have a somewhat embarrassing obsession with Japanese trains. This link is like pornography to me. Thanks, carter.

I especially like the second photo on this page... amazing how such an ordinary scene becomes so surreal.

Great link, Carter. This encourages me to do a photo project I’ve been putting off.
