A New Ceramic Camera — #13a

[steve irvine]

A new ceramic camera that came out of the kiln a few days ago. This weekend I put together a black foam core negative holder for the inside, made the pinhole in .005 brass, and tested it out. The camera is designed to use a 4x5 inch paper negative. The test image of eggs in a porcelain bowl was a one hour exposure. The camera stands about 33 cm tall, and it's made of stoneware, fired to 1,300 deg. C (2,350 F) in a reduction atmosphere.

Your camera creations are fantastic. I admire your works of art. And the cameras don't look exceptional beautiful only but produce also great pictures.
