Photography: Skull Camera


A functional camera constructed from a skull.

Designed to study the beauty of decay, the homemade 4”x5” camera  is built from aluminum, titanium, brass, silver, gem stones, and the 150 year-old skull of a thirteen year old girl.  Light enters through the "third eye," exposing the film in the middle of the skull.  It's either grisly or beautiful, but the debate over which is what art's all about.
