Paper Camera!

The Dirkon is a 35mm paper camera that actually works! I've been trying unsuccessfully to make one. First the papers too thin, then too thick... I'll figure it out. I think the trick is just printing it out onto heavy cardstock right away. Here's the instructions and pdf link if you want to make one. As well as some other interesting ideas.

berndt and hilla becher


Two of my favorite photographers, Berndt and Hilla Becher. They studied together,
got married in 61', photographed industrial images for more than 40 years, and started the Becher School. Pretty Amazing.
