A wonderful shot of Frank Lloyd Wright. It looks like a still from a movie.

Laptopograms are images made by pressing photosensitive paper onto a laptop screen and flashing an image in a manner not unlike contact printing or photograms.

No, I’m not taking it up as a pastime, but a friend who knows I’m a bit of an information geek showed me these manuals from her synchronised swimming days. I’m fascinated by the language and symbols that different disciplines have to share the “how” of what they are.

(Taken with a mobile phone, hence the poor quality. I’ve tried to clean them up best I can)
