He called them Tele-Snaps, the name a literal definition: by the direct method of fixing a 35mm camera to a tripod a short distance from his screen and shooting rolls of film, John Cura photographed entire programmes from the opening titles to the closing credits, creating usually up to 80 stills, sometimes more, as a unique record of a broadcast." <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/photonovels/index.shtml">One of the results of his hard work can be found here.</a> tag:metafilter.com,2004:site.35104 Sat, 21 Aug 2004 06:31:55 -0800 stills telesnaps tele-snaps tv feelinglistless
