A Camera (polyphemus)

Ladies and Gentlemen... and Mr Pierre-Henri Twingo

may I present to you the latest build, now a more verbose individual would tell tales of the longest scavenger hunt possibly ever in the history of human-looking-around-for-stuff, ever, or the mishaps and redesigns, the sore hands... an angry saw salesman, but I'll keep it brief like. I won't even mention that it's made entirely from recycled and found bits (save the nuts and bolt, I can't really make or find those, I had to buy 'em like) or second hand bobs, or that it will take roll film and polaroids and is small and light enough to carry around. I certainly won't go into any great length or detail about the frame being decorated with found poems and old images.

One thing that I will mention tho' is my huge gratitude to our friend who graciously and masterfully designed and built the lens board - did it all on 'is own too - so thanks a bunch, sincerely. I can also confirm that he is an utterly decent all round nice chap, good people.

There is some small tinkering still to be done. I could do with redesigning the rail an'the lens doesn't quite cover all the movements and I'm afraid it's dying.

the first shot, such as it is, is here:[link]


now I just need to find someone that can take some photos with it... any volunteers?
