    Oh no! I can see his wires! That’s obscene!

    Just kidding. Great picture, the orange things (circuits?) are nice. It’s funny, some designers strive to achieve that look, and others hide it behind layers of black plastic.

    Damn, Nell M beat me to the punch. The moment I saw the thumb I thought "got to call this obscene".

    Interesting shot, are you as good at putting together as you are at pulling apart? I never was.

    From Boing Boing:

    "Already, Flickr users have begun to use the photo-annotation tool to mark up the pic with technical details on the exposed components."

    OK, so that’s "technical details" like, "I like this orange… thing", right?

    Not using rechargeables? Pity. I added some technical details. You’re welcome.

    Just like Flickr and inside-out California Rolls: open, exposed, beautiful and delicious (if you like wires).

    Paul Watson: to your question, asymmetric vectors are a common theme in device disassembly … it’s an entropy thang.

    Ben: I’d want one. =)

    Why do they case these things in brushed aluminum-effect anyway? I wanna buy one with a clear resin case! 😀

    I love the wavy cut of the circuit board. I wonder how it would be shooting a pic with it in that state. I am great at breaking things open but the reverse is not true.

    How would it be? Painful! The capacitors that drive a flash tube pack a hell of a wallop.

    Thanks y’all. I have a hard time predicting which photos will be popular…. Glad to see there are a lot of closet geeks out there. =)

    So much of our world is driven by technology and it is becoming a black box. There is much inner beauty.

    When I take apart a 20 year old TV, it is so much more interesting than a modern LCD TV. Pre-"integrated circuit era" electronics can be gorgeous. I have pulled the cover off of a lot of electronics this year, and cameras are some of the most interesting.

    Andyi: Right you are. Here’s another example.

    yeah…. I noticed that. You gotta love the bloggers.

    13K views within 2 days seems to be consistent as the "boing boing effect"….

    This is a whole new "take" on nude photography. Naked pictures from a naked camera. Roll up roll up , Japanese striptease, see everything!

    PS you might like to look at my treatment of a videocamera to produce a similar set of pictures to this one.

    I remember seeing a photo in the "Cherry Hotel" in Vancouver BC, which had the caption

    "Naked photography a speciality"

    and there was a group of fully dressed people having there photograph taken by a naked man.

    Hmm, now that I think about it, is that an infrared port, an ultrasonic rangefinder, or something else?

    oh! i remembered what I REALLY wanted to say:

    Could you have made a ‘home-made tazer’ out of that camera?? I know you can (and I have) from disposable cameras, but I’ve never tried with an actual one…huh…

    okies.yeah.justcurious.

    cool photo! Even though the amount of nakedness makes it hard to look at…But the notes are just too entertaining.

    I like PCBs, ICs, discreet components and all that sexy stuff…
