Before I moved to Cardiff, Wales, I decided that I wanted to do some "pro bono" projects since I’ve noticed that they provide inspiration and sometimes good things you didn’t even expect.
Joe Barone is a recent college grad who enjoys the process as much as the result. Inspired by his love for old objects, knack for tinkering with things and growing up in his parents’ hardware store, Barone brought the camera obscure into the 21st century recently with the help of an old scanner, a magnifying glass and duct tape... well, gold duct tape.
The result is a glorious steampunk-esque contraption that yields some rather impressive images.
