Inside the Lab of One of the World's Last Holographers

MMBK writes "In the heyday of holography, back in the 1970s, there were four schools dedicated to the holographic arts around the world, and five studios in New York City alone. Today, there are only a few left in the world. And no one is holding the candle higher than Doctor Laser."

Instead of a candle, shouldn't Doctor Laser hold, I dunno, a laser?

The part where the kid says ouch and cut off his hand was hilarious. The Dr laser should have replied with "im your father " then it would have been the best. Wheres my hologram tv?

Despite being completely ignored by most people he lives in this world in his head where the current president would subject himself to a dark and moldy basement in order to get a half-assed hologram taken.

Um, what are you trying to say here? That your president is afraid of the dark?

Besides, getting my holograph taken would be the first thing in my list of things to do if I ever took over the world^W^W^W^W became the president.

Naw, he's oldschool. He obviously uses a spectrometer and a candle to get monochromatic light for his projects. Sure, it requires super-long exposure times, but it's pretty hard-core.

If I lived anywhere near him, I'd probably try to go make friends with him

In the 1970s there were four schools around the world, and now only a few are left? When you start with four you don't have all that far to drop!
