轮椅相机问世了。 如何在几乎完全瘫痪的情况下,拍摄照片和视频

仅仅在我完成了摄影学校的四年学习后的几年,事故发生了(1995年12月),并造成我的高位脊柱损伤。我只能移动我的头,还有一点点我的肩膀。我还有可能成为摄影师吗?这只是我的许多问题中的一个。第一反应“当然不是”,因为我无法用手控制和控制相机。然后,这还仅仅冰山一角,因为摄影不仅仅是拥有照相机,而且使用按钮。与摄影有关的大部分东西对我来说已经变得不可能了,因为我的选择,时间和精力都非常有限且难以预测。
但是,与其看看什么是不可能的,不如看看什么是可能的吧!

第一个模拟年
在事故发生后的大约两年之后(1998年),我学习了如何使用Photoshop,并且只用头部运动。同时,我在Peep Papa的帮助下制作了一些不错的肖像。使用模拟技术指挥一个人被证明是非常令人沮丧的,这让我放弃了。

第一个数字年
在2006年初,由于摄影转向数字时代,出现了新的选择。我的第一台数码相机是索尼DSC-R1,这是当时唯一适用于我的照相机:良好的图像质量,可以面向我的视图LCD显示器,以及连接遥控器的选项。由此,我可以想象一个轮椅相机的装置,能够适合我进行工作。 之后,Kees Meinardi建立了轮椅相机的第一个版本。

A head controlled computer - in bed

Because of a very high spinal cord injury, I'm almost completely paralyzed, can only move my head. When in my wheelchair, I can work with a head controlled computer in my living room. But I'm in bed most of the time: at night, during the care, and sometimes I have to stay in bed for days or even weeks. I need access to a computer 24/7, day ánd night. Big question was "how can I get computer access in bed while lying flat on my back??" There was no solution available (1997).

The LaesieCushion - a DIY cushion to prevent pressure wounds

The reason why I designed this cushion, is because I didn’t like any of the cushions that were on the market these days. They gave me red skin easily. My body is almost completely paralyzed, so I don’t move, and I’m quite tall, thus my risk of getting pressure wounds is very high. For some 5 years I tried everything I could think of, you name it and I have considered it. The final design is quite simple to make, not easy but very doable. I have been sitting on it for about 15 years now, which makes me the living proof that it works!
