And All the Girls Were Nude

The story follows a reclusive, ostensibly dull but secretly obsessive amateur photographer who collects thousands of images of women. Skilled in optics, he invents an intentionally astigmatic lens with a prism and complementary filter that eliminates clothing and records flesh tones, enabling color photographs that portray subjects as nude. He uses the device to surreptitiously photograph passing women from his room and on the street, expanding his collection and investing heavily in film. The narrative examines his technical ingenuity and escalating voyeurism, raising ethical questions about privacy and the misuse of photographic technology.
