Antique Cameras: Polaroid Pinhole Camera

Video Transcript

"This camera, in particular, was a camera that I found at a flea market that was definitely not a so great camera, it was incredibly beat up. The lens, in particular, was quite beat up. What I did with this camera is I, essentially, took the lens off of this camera and I put on an enlarging lens, which was just something, again, it brings me back to why do I use these cameras, essentially, to have fun with and to experiment. I took some epoxy and my tape. Tape is a great friend to me. I put on this enlarging lens and essentially I attached it on, through the back. It's not the prettiest back but it works. It has an aperture that's open all the way and so what I did was, essentially, I made a Polaroid pinhole camera. Meaning that, once my film is in here, I attach my lens cap to the lens and I open it up and that what makes my exposure. Again, it's a way that I figured out how to use a camera, that really wasn't operable, and make it so I can use it, for some of my own work."
