#26 Build my own camera

Ever since I saw on Rhianne's blog how she built her own camera, I knew I wanted to do this, too. I mean - how cool is that to make your own camera?! So I made sure to include it on my 2012 list.

A few days into January, my Photojojo order arrived and I immediately went to work.

It took me more than the one hour the box said it would take to assemble. The english of the instruction manual is a little bit - how shall I put it? - "freestyle" sometimes. Plus the images were really dark and hard to decipher.

But I made it. In the end I had four screws leftover that were supposed to go somewhere (only I couldn't figure out where) but the camera seems to hold together anyway.

So I proudly present my very own self-made camera:

I have no idea if it work. The verdict is still out on that. I finished my first film today and in a few days we'll know more.
