This Photographer Builds Working Camera Out of Film and Craft Items

There's fans of arts and crafts, and then there's people that take it to the next level, like Maxim Grew, a photographer out of Brighton, who spontaneously decided to build a Popsicle stick Polaroid one day.

Not content to simply make a model, he decided he wanted it to be a real, working camera. His materials consisted of a Polaroid film holder, some simple wooden Popsicle sticks, card stock, an old thrift-shop camera lens, and a lot of duct tape. He chronicled the construction process in this YouTube video.

It just goes to show that if you really want to be a photographer, the financial gate of entry can be as low as you want it to be.
