Look in the Photographic "Lots" category. Lotsa crap there. And also search for "broken cameras". I think there's a pile of broken folders on ebay at this time. |

(1) You may get something cheap that shouldn't have been cheap, and destroy something of value in making your sculpture. (2) Creating "art" by ripping off and abusing the artistic and aesthetic value of existing objects is the height of intellectual and artistic laziness. (3) Even a ten dollar camera is of more value than such intellectually and artistically vacuous "art". Someone could repair said camera and use it to create some real art. I submit that melting down statues to make cameras would be a far better thing to do. David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

I submit that melting down statues to make cameras would be a far better thing to do. Easy for you to say. Isn't most Japanese sculpture made of dirt or wood? But okay, lets start with that big lady standing on Liberty Island, then the Amazon in the White House media room, then that cracked bell... |

oh he is just joking. Probably just jealous that someone is putting a dead
camera to better use than he does a working camera :-) There are three problems with this idea. |
