A Working Polaroid Instant Camera Built Out of Popsicle Sticks
Brighton-based photographer and product designer Maxim Grew recently came up with the idea of building an instant camera out of a Polaroid film holder and a stack of wooden popsicle sticks.
Grew took photographs at a regular interval as he was building, and created this video showing how the camera came together:
The camera takes Polaroid Type 100 film. Grew had some Fuji-FP 100C lying around, and shot this same photograph showing that the camera actually works:
Focusing the camera is a bit tricky. Grew says that he’d have to stick an external rangefinder onto it if he were to use the camera out and about.
