Cameras

Coffee Stirrer Camera

I made a camera made of 23,248 coffee stirrers, powered by a Raspberry Pi, and controlled with a Nintendo controller. It is one of the strangest cameras and the photos it takes are equally unique. You can read the entire story here.

Money Printer Camera

I combined a Raspberry Pi and a portable receipt printer to create a camera that prints money. You can watch a video of the camera in action here.

Polaroid Receipt Camera

I made a digital Polaroid camera that combines a receipt printer with a Raspberry Pi. To build it I took an old Polaroid Minute Maker camera, stripped out its guts, and replaced the innards with a digital camera, an e-ink display, a receipt printer, and an SNES controller to operate the camera. You can read about the digital receipt printer polaroid camera here.

Lego Pinhole Camera

My first experience going viral happened after I created a medium format pinhole camera out of Legos. You can read about it here. It made the rounds on popular websites in 2001 and even got featured in a book.
