"This is a concrete planter that I found on a trash pile. I added some silk roses and hung her on a pole in my backyard. I think the imperfections that caused her to be thrown away, are what make her worth photographing."
"My camera is made from an HT brand Earl Gray tea tin. I use expired Kodak photographic paper cut to fit in the can, then develop the paper in caffenol. Because the paper is old and probably fogged, I add about a teaspoon of salt to the mixture. To calculate exposure time, I use a light meter app."
