RE: plastic surgery on PH cameras

I like the idea that through crafting a camera, communing with its
constituent parts and understanding them through the images created by light
interacting with them we are able to gain a better understanding of
ourselves and our place in the world.

Something to mull over during your next two hour long exposure as the water
finally makes it though your shoes on a rainy winter Sunday like today in
London ;-)
