It’s designed to take a 4 x 5 inch piece of photo paper. The negative holder on the inside is made from three strips of black weather stripping.”

This photo is also part of a project called “Geographic Composition“. A bunch of photographers in different geographic locations ranging from Seattle to Sweden are given a theme then we submit pictures of said theme a week later. The first theme is “Beginnings”, and this was my contribution. You can find everyone else’s submissions here.
