What a fun idea. Love the photo of him with the balloons and all the people walking by, not even the least bit interested in what's going on there... ah, New York!

I'll bet you $100 that he used CHDK.

I love this idea--I can't wait to see the photos from Central Park.

i think this is kind of neat. as for the quality of the pictures, i'm sure there will be one or two really interesting ones after the experiment is done. in the meantime, the pictures aren't any worse than many of the silly snapshots posted on flickr, the ones taken by actual humans.

Imagine what the NYPD and the Government can do with this to stifle our civil liberties.
