The Camera

I got this Kodak Baby Brownie 127 film camera online. It didn't have the lens (which goes in front of the shutter). or the strap. I played with the idea of turning it into a pinhole camera, but I found solid viewfinder lens in my junk box from a camera that happened to focus on the film when placed behind the shutter. The strap is the outer liner from a boot shoelace (a trick I picked up from people who make their own headphone cables).

The pictures are almost perfectly square and fit between the sprocket holes of 35mm film. After covering up the red window in back with several layers of black electrical tape, this camera is now a 35mm box camera.
