I mounted a camera, pointing backwards, from the back window of the van and operated it with a cable-release long enough to be operated whilst driving. I would make the van backfire and photograph the frightened mayhem I'd created as I drove past. Out of (partial) consideration for my fellow man, I avoided pensioners, dentists' surgeries and gynaecologists (www.backfire.co.uk/)
I discovered that the van I had to drive could very easily be persuaded to produce very loud, frightening backfire s as and when I wanted it to (I'm not telling you how, find out for yourselves) and as I've always been keen on photography, I tried an experiment (www.backfire.co.uk/)
Strange online photo-art/civic psychological torture project: My name is Howard Stone. Briefly, some years ago I had a delivery job in Southampton, England (I won't say what I was delivering or for whom). It was very boring and badly paid but I soon found a way of livening it up. I discovered that the van I had to drive could very easily be persuaded to produce very loud, frightening backfire s as and when I wanted it to (I'm not telling you how, find out for yourselves) and as I've always been keen on photography, I tried an experiment. I mounted a camera, pointing backwards, from the back window of the van, I hid it behind a retractable black cloth shutter and operated it with a cable-release long enough to be operated whilst driving. I would make the van backfire and photograph the frightened mayhem I'd created as I drove past. Out of (partial) consideration for my fellow man, I avoided pensioners, dentists' surgeries and gynaecologists. Link, Discuss (Thanks, Mister Sean Bonner (www.boingboing.net....kfire.html)
This atrocity may have strengthened Bhutto, but it's worrying to think what might happen if the extremists ever succeed in assassinating her (and/or Musharaff). Musharaff is now too weak to hold onto power alone, unless perhaps he imposes martial law which could easily backfire against him. And he obviously can't work with Nawaz Sharif given that he took power in a coup against him, which leaves only Bhutto. (commentisfree.guardian.co.uk....kfire.html)
