That is really cool!
Doesn't look like it would take much to adapt it for photography.
BTW, at first glance, in the first pic it kinda resembles a rhinoceros..as drawn by a Cubist. :)

Nice looking cabinet! reminds me of the cabinet my grandmother had, with her b&w tv-set :-)
Re: Homemade Camera Obscura
Hahahaha now I may name it “Grandma’s rhino cabinet”.
Re: Homemade Camera Obscura
The obscura looks wonderful, wish I could make such things. Do you have any of your printmaking stuff somewhere on the internet?

You will get perspective correct with a camera obscura. Looks like a wonderful job that you have done. Many artists would be envious!

I haven’t updated my website in a long while and have just been using Instagram to casually, albeit intermittently, track some works in progress. This is my Instagram page. Eventually, my website will be updated but that’ll probably be a while. My main goal for now is just to make work and gain some momentum doing that. Below is an example of some of my most current printmaking work. A large part of what I’m doing is reimagining my photographs as intaglio images, specifically drypoint engravings. This is a drypoint print based on one of my photographs from when I was doing a lot of street photography in NYC and San Francisco:

I’ve built front tilt into it for a bit of perspective correction if I need it but in the end, I’m less concerned with that than I would be if I were photographing with a view camera. I’m actually curious to see if I end up using tilt much or if I end up actually wanting more movements. I’m guessing I’ll be fine without them based on the fact that most camera obscuras used in classical times were basic sliding box designs and had no movements. I’m using it to take drawings and sketches from life as they would have traditionally been used.
Re: Homemade Camera Obscura
very nice. do you use a normal mirror or do you need a front surface mirror ?
