Hello Kitty : The hacked version
[This is the Before version, the results after the jump...]
I got an email the other day from a reader with a link to some pretty amazing images. It seems William Mellott a.k.a Formica had found a way hack the infamous ‘Hello Kitty’ disposable camera to create eerily strange vignetted images with a very inventive process of reloading the disposable camera… I shot off an email, and Formica took a few minutes to explain just how he created these haunting images…

I have one of these… There is a mask in front of the lens, with a small circle in the center. That is what causes the vignetting.

Thanks for running a story on formica’s images! I was searching for interesting images for a new flickr group I started called Disposable Art when I stumbled the Hello Kitty shots. I knew his unique idea would make a great story here!!
