"I thought I’d post an interesting project I just completed that began as a joke. I call it the Gluten Obscura. One of my favorite things to do in my free time is to build wood wet plate cameras true to the originals, but when talking with a friend, I joked that it would be funny to build one out of a loaf of bread… then my gears started to turn and now here we are.
Using a loaf of country bread as the camera body, I dried it out to make a hard box. I then took the bread from the inside of the loaf and turned it into charcoal on my blacksmith forge to make a black powder that I could then use to make a black paste to fill in light leaks. I used a small pillbox landscape lens and messed up my math on focal length, so the image is out of focus, but hey I got an image using a camera made out of a single loaf of bread."
