Extreme Makeover, Camera Edition: Wood Veneers
Photographer Tyson Haslam has an interesting hobby: he takes vintage cameras and gives them a new look by replacing the rubber grips and various other panels with wooden veneers.
After carefully applying the wood veneers, he stains them for a finished look. His first experiment was back in August and involved a Yashica TL Electro X SLR:
Since then, he has done the same thing with a number of other cameras in his collection:
Yashica Lynx-5000
Agfa
Pentax P3
Agfa
Meikai ELX
Nikon F2
You can follow along with Haslem’s creations on his Instagram account.
