Camera: Vermeer 6x17 Omniscope pinhole Film: Ilford XP2
An omniscope pinhole is a mind-bender. Wrap your film around a cylinder, much like you would do with the standard oatmeal container pinhole, but unlike those cameras instead of placing the pinhole in the opposite wall from the film, you place it at the end of the cylinder. So anything the pinhole is directly facing is in a blind spot. Rather, the camera must be aligned at a severe angle to what you hope to photography. And hope plays a large role in these things, let me tell you that.
Data viz guys get bored, and we aren’t above taking a piss on Omniscope or Tableau for lolz. Playing with random data and kicking about settings is part of learning.
But to spend 90% of one’s time pimpin’ up a view, the sort that does nothing beyond playing up the aesthetics, is simply a waste of time. Experts (including the self-styled) who advocate this as best practice are simply irresponsible - I’m talking to you, Timo.
His advice to “get out there and introduce some eye candy”, advocating visual wow over focus and clarity - the very kind that obscures stories and brings about migraines - is immensely unhelpful to the business minded audience (though if intended as low art or whimsy as many books and infographics now feature I’m less inclined to object).
Clearly, that the most physically attractive among us can do with sloppy dress does not portend hope for the reverse. Can’t put lipstick on a pig, you know
Clarity and elegance has served me well thus far. Best angle for finesse, not visual mess.
