Camera Punk

[Greyscale]

Custom steampunk accessories for your camera. Not for the stealthy.

Wow....... big in Japan?

I can't say I understand these accessories at all... I mean, yes, I get it, but just seems really silly.

 

[RedLion]

Yes it's silly.

I have to add that the Rolleiflex was camera-punk before there was such a thing as CameraPunk.

I can see where this Steam-Punk aesthetic is coming from though - it's a postmodern nostalgia for early modernity, where elements have been brought forward and recontextualized in an attempt to recover symbolically something which was lost.

Not my thing, but it might be your thing.

Nicely put.

I would have been more succinct. It's crap..

"crap" being something you don't like but others do. A mature way of looking at things obviously. 😀

Whatever floats their boat, I'm happy as long as they don't touch my camera.

So, all style and no substance? 😉

They should doll up one of the old mechanical external self-timers. At least then you could make an argument for it doing something, rather than just looking like it should do something. That's my biggest problem with steampunk. I don't mind visible gears and leather. I just don't like a gear that just sits there - it should DO something.

Steampunk is what happened when Goths discovered brown.

I'm with rogue_designer on the whole gear thing.
It seems you can turn anything into a steampunk 'objet d'arse' by sticking some random Meccano gears on it and spraying it brass colour.
