nickc1 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Isobel, my 7 year old daughter saw me playing (cheek!) with a pinhole on the Speed Graphic and asked if I would make her a pinhole camera - hence the Planter-oid, a plastic planter from the garden, cardboard and lots of duct tape to hold a polaroid 545 filmholder on the rear. The picture shows the shutter (tape) the lens (foil pinhole, made by Isobel) and the custom tripod (garden chair) As for the pictures, she is very proud of them, but won't let me have them back to scan! Thank goodness she hasn't learnt about Leicas yet! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randall ellis Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 That fantastic! So few children have an interest in anything creative these days - it's great to hear that you were able to do something so positive. I really love the design too, just superb. - Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick j dempsey Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Keep on that path and you just may end up with a kid with some common sense who can think for herself! When do you anticipate her own designs? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Great Nick This may seem weird but I was thinking of making a Camera with a Terra Cotta pot. However I have a small shutter and lens to put in it..and a 5x7 back. I have some 8X10 film I was going to cut.... Can we see a picture from it? 2 of my children are also into Photography ... Even though 1 is a Digital nut I will help heal her ... Laughing.... The other one is like me she prefers playing in dark rooms and for Christmas is getting a scanner to bridge her money gap ... and allow her to use her classic cameras with less darkroom and shoot more....
