Shared publicly -I'm preparing for the MIP Owners' video workshop right now. It's part of the package.
I received a package today, containing an item I had been anticipating for a very long time. It happens to be the Marquardt International Pinhole camera, created by +Chris Marquardt. What's the big deal? Check out the story behind the camera here: http://internationalpinhole.com/thestory.html
As far as cameras go, you can't get any more simple and elegant than a pinhole camera, and this particular model is a work of art. Chris is only making 10 of these Limited Edition cameras (I think there are a few still available) and I'm the proud owner of MIP #1. My camera is finished with wood from an Ash Tree, but the others are all finished with different wood. Designed to take 4x5 large format film holders, it should also be the easiest pinhole camera to use, too!
This project was three years in the making, and I know how much effort Chris has put into making the perfect minimalist camera. I've got a box of 4x5 film, and a few creative ideas. I'll not only be admiring this as artwork itself, but hopefully use it to create some of my own. :)
Here's a quick snap of the full camera that I posted to twitter: https://twitter.com/donkom/status/457604299405934592/photo/1
