Building an Afghan Camera

If you click on the camera tab on the site, it bring your to a beautiful short movie on the operation of the camera. Fantastic!

Excellent video! Loved the intermission. I'll show it to my students. Thank you!

Great fun. Reassuring to know that film photographers world-wide all kvetch about getting materials these days.

Is it English humor?

No (it's not English humour either!).

Great

Good idea to use a suitcase

I like the tripod (quadripod indeed)

Nope. Just tasteless.

Tasteless, perhaps, but undeniably true, a Royal Marines sergeant from my former unit I knew was killed by an I.E.D three days ago in Afghanistan .

Yeah, but you do realize that not everyone in Afghanistan is a terrorist, nor is that the overarching characteristic of their culture, right?

That's all we're saying I guess. I'd hate for my home land to be seen as so one-dimensional.

Great site! Thanks for sharing. Really interesting facet of world photography history, and true street level photography and business. Think of the stories you'd get to share doing this all day.

Regrettable but irrelevant to this thread.
