I’m heading to Zurich and Berlin next week, and whenever I travel, there’s some internal strife about which camera(s) to bring along with. Carrying my full-frame DSLR around gets a little tiresome (ok, I need to work on my shoulders more I guess.) So on this trip, I’m just carrying my Nikon F3 and shooting on film. Inexplicably, I shoot a little differently on Film, and it’s been awhile since I’ve been constrained to it. This also means few updates until I get the film home, developed, and scanned.

Heartbeat: Beautiful DIY Pinhole Cameras Powered by Watch Movements

Pinhole cameras can be easily and cheaply made using things you have lying around the house… or you can go to the opposite end of the spectrum and fashion yourself a highly intricate pinhole camera. That’s what Korean photographer Kwanghun Hyun did with his Heartbeat cameras. The two cameras created so far feature one crazy design choice: they use intricate watch movements as their internal timing mechanisms.

The world of watches and clocks, movements are the internal mechanical mechanisms that make the devices “work.” Kwanghun, whose formal education was in metalwork at Hongik University in Seoul, decided to stuff one of these systems into brass pinhole cameras. The movements are used by the Heartbeat pinhole cameras in order to track exposure time, precisely controlling how long the camera’s shutter is open for.

Today’s deliveries from the postman.

And yes, i’m very aware of the irony of this coming a week after a post about avoiding GAS! I could give excuses (one was a charity auction and one was an absolute steal) but i’d just be kidding myself too!
