Greetings from Afghanistan
Dear all, we're now in Afghanistan continuing our research into the box camera. Over the last days, we've been learning new box camera techniques, getting a camera made, collecting old photos, hearing new and fascinating histories and generally being overwhelmed by the depth of creativity and skill we've come across.
Check out the video to see what we've been up to. More updates will follow soon.
Best wishes, Lukas & Sean
