  There was a film either on tv or perhaps it was online about the Afghani photographers who use these
  wonderful cameras to take photos of people for passports etc… The photo is taken on paper, developed
  in the camera body itself, reversed to a positive and so on.

  I had the pleasure of being photographed by a guy in Peru with the same type of camera a few years ago. It was amazing seeing how he worked, being a film photographer I got a great buzz from it. I must find the print and post a scan.

  Now I’m thinking of making one of these box cameras, can’t be all that difficult, hmmm :)

  Damn you Mark, another project to add to the list.
