Afghan Box Camera

This site is just excellent : http://www.afghanboxcamera.com/

In one of the videos you see the guy shooting, processing the paper neg and then reshooting to make the positive. The web site has loads of resources, even showing you how to make your own Afghan Box Camera, something, I have to say, I'm quite taken by the idea of!

That's pretty cool Nigel.

I found this link somewhere (maybe here?) few time ago and it's also great...

These folks got their funding to do this through kickstarter.com.  I saw this on that site back in summer/fall I believe. They were able to raise over 10,000 USD through that site. Wow !  And what a fantastic job they did documenting these photographers.
