Description
At the end of the 19th century in the lesser explored deepest territorities in South America, secret hunting went on. Some of the earlier box cameras weren't invented at all – they were hollowed out creatures!
As the creatures became rare, once a flock-herd animal of the forest and plains, it became cheaper to manufacture imitations. No more do we hear the pop or see the flash of their nightly mating call.Actually they used to be a bit of nuisance, and rather stupid and deserved wiping out …
This idea was inspired by Amanda-Loserwithguitar who foolishly made a joke about flying cameras … which then gave me nightmares for months

I absolutely LOVE box cameras, i used to be fascinated by them as a kid, i like your take on things. Will be more cautious of attack by weird camera/bat hybrid next time i use a medium format!

xD That's awesome!
Exactly how I would've pictured a flying-box-camera.
I really like the pose in the first picture (flash to stun enemies).

Thankees for the inspiration!
They like posing, and they also use the flash to communicate other long distances.

It's a mystery. They can only create in the dark.
Kodak may have farmed photographic plates from a another source, perhaps they sliced something up.
