photography

half awake and half asleep in the water


[more]

Great minds run in the same sewers. I've been thinking about pictures taken half in the water and half out for a long time. I've not had an underwater camera to do something like that. Then Greyhoundman found the Mako Shark underwater camera.

It's based on the Brownie Hawkeye, which is a bakelite box camera with a meniscus lens. They show up on eBay and usually go for around $60 to $70. Sometimes more. One just went for $28 when I had no money. Some day money and an available camera will happen at the same time.
