you both beat me too!


What's not to love about this?   

So, Francois...  are you going to be the first to throw down the gauntlet and make a "contraption" like this?

Would be quite alright in my book!    :)

I must admit I quite like the Lunar Lander model :)

The plastic Kookie Kamera also has that little "je ne sais quoi" that captures my imagination  ;D

Damion had his picture taken in Cuba with one fo these cameras a few years ago (as did Martin Parr...but enough of him  ;)). There is also an amazing book which features portraits of these photographers taken all over the world. I forget the name of it right now, but I may even have mentioned it on an old Filmwasters podcast. They're pretty awesome setups aren't they?

Both photos below have been clipped from Damion's Flickr stream. I hope he won't mind.

Yep ! Me too...
The Lunar Lander was used by those two blokes who first landed and photographed the  moon... It totally proves that they actually were there and the whole thing it isn't fake !  :o
