Re: AOL flotsam camera

Nice stuff. I'm surprised at how evenly exposed the self-portrait from
the AOL tin camera was. Did you have to do a lot of dodging when making
the print, or is the negative really that even? (Or could it be that
the posted image is not the full 4x5, but a smaller area cropped from
the center?)

I have been thinking about making a very short focal length "lid" for my
Polaroid 545 holder, but have been concerned that there would only be a
small image in the center.
