Good Day Everyone,
We have noticed that one of our recent Camera Auctions on Ebay have been discussed in this forum.
We'd like to take up the opportunity today to discuss one of our main concerns in contemporary Camera Construction.
We have a strong belief at the Honour & Crab Workshop: EVERY CAMERA HAS A SOUL.
Im sure most of you would agree on this.
Some cameras become dear over the years, they are like pets or partners, sharing lifetime and experiences.
The same goes for Photography. We dont see it as a simple outcome of a physical / mechanical / chemical process, its much more a representation of what we see, what we are, how we feel and beyond.
We decided to take this thought one level further and are currently experimenting with a more metaphysical approach.
Therefore I'd like to post the most recent experiment from our workshop, the Tortoise Cam.
As you can see the Body of the Camera was crafted with a real body, the remains of our dear neighbours tortoise that recently deceased and was kindly donated to us by its caretaker.
The tortoise shell was carried around by a living and seeing creature for many years. If transformed into a Camera, we hope it merges memory, or soul, and a newly acquired function. Apart from the technical characteristics, we are aiming at unpredictable and new results in the photographic output.
Has anyone of you made similair experiences or has a special bond to his / her camera, that goes beyond the notions of material possession?
We'd be more than happy to get this discussion started and share thoughts.
This might sound a little strange, but we are looking forward to a serious discussion.
All the best,
Honour & Crab
