ive got 4 projects lined up for the end of summer (infact im going to build one of them tommorrow)
1. adjustable focal lenght pinhole, the idea being i can have wide angle and telephoto in the same camera, id have to make 2 pinholes though of course to ensure they were in focus. since my idea for a sort of accordian brace failed, ill probably make it with sliding boxes with bellows inside. building it to take 120 of course.
2. 3 color combination camera, basicly 3 medium focal lenght pinhole cameras lined up side by side and connected to one another with the same roll of 120 running through all of them, built to take 6x6 pictures, one lens takes blue, one lens takes orange or yellow and the other takes green. and after developing you scan them and combine all the pictures after you put color masks over them. ill probably put little squares that are transparent in there that have R G and B written on them so they mask part of the film and i can see them after i develop them. since its 6x6 ill be able to get 4 pictures per roll. not a lot but its an experiment
3. lumiere emulation plate, basicly a plate of plastic composed of fine grains of red green and blue plastic mixed so they are neutral then melted together and placed over a 4x5 film holder then you just copy the pictures holding the plate over the film to get that awesome impressionistic look of the old lumieres.
4. the most ambitious, 360 degree panorama camera, something i want to patent, itll be electricly driven and can be altered to do a number of different widths and speeds, so you can do 90 degrees, 180, or 360, the one im working on will just take a single 360 shot on an entire roll of 120, which you then contact print to make a picture, im using a holga lens for it.

heh have fun, a photographer i met in france took some amazing pictures with a holga, if you tape it up and know how to use it you can make very high quality images, i personaly like the murky look of the untaped holga. i should probably post some of my holga pics.
