Digital BW, The Print

Mark, 

You have got to be one of the most talented photographers at making a camera (first the Plunger Cam and now the Fedex Box Camera) out of...well...almost nothing.  

I am so curious to see a print.  Send a scan if you will.  

Cudos for keeping the passion for catching the light alive and challenging.

  In response to this discussion, (or maybe I was
  inspired by BW's decision), I duct taped a Fuji 680
  polaroid back onto a Federal Express box (Small Size)
  last night, and poked a small hole in it for a lens.
  The depth of the Small Box is only about an inch and a
  half, so the "lens" is very wide -- about like a 15 on
  a Nikon. Even with the crude test hole, punched and
  dug out with a number 11 xacto blade, the picture is
  shockingly sharp and good. Exposure time for my
  aperture is about one second in normal daylight room
  light. I just pull the dark slide with my finger over
  the hole, and give it about one second, then reinsert
  the dark slide.

  I give credit to Mr. Rasmussen of BW Magazine, for
  fueling my creation. 

  In pure technical terms, does a FedEx Box count as a
  "machine"?... I am hoping not.
