| PhotoHistory XII Symposium, George Eastman House, Rochester, New York |
| September 29, 2003 |
| The first showing of our Magic Mirror of Life tent was at PhotoHistory XI Symposium in Rochester, New York on October 21, 2000. A page on this site, Magic Mirror of Life at George Eastman House, is devoted to that day. When the program for PhotoHistory XII was planned for September, 2003 we were honored to be asked to bring our camera obscura tent back for a return visit. As the time neared to pack the tent and leave for Rochester we watched with mounting panic as hurricane Isabel aimed at the east coast. The closer our travel day approached the more certain it seemed that Isabel would arrive in Baltimore just in time for our trip. An alternate plan was needed since packing a large car-top carrier with equipment in the midst of a hurricane was not possible. We downsized our plans to our one-person tent, a viewing cabinet camera obscura, and a reflex box camera obscura. The night before we left we designed and printed a group of 16X20 inch posters on the camera obscura. Although the waterfront areas of Baltimore were very badly flooded in the storm, we were far enough inland to suffer only a few broken tree limbs so were able to leave on Friday, September 19. The weather was awful for the entire trip from Baltimore to Rochester but Saturday when the conference opened was clear and sunny. We set up in the beautiful side garden with a view of Eastman House.
