Reaction to Descriptive Camera

I’m amazed at how many people were talking about The Descriptive Camera last week. The project site received over 500,000 views and the tweets, emails, and calls were pouring in for a couple days, mostly very supportive. There was a lot of confusion about my purpose for making this prototype. I understand why; not everyone knows my work and how I like to play with technology. There’s a quote from me in this BetaBeat article that might help people who don’t understand:

“People think it’s neat and interesting, but there’s a lot of confusion, with people saying, ‘Why would you ever want something like this?’” said Mr. Richardson. “It’s a question I never ask when I make something. I make what I want to make and I don’t ask why.”

Check out the tech section of my site to see the other things I’ve made.
