Kelsi Frost submits Ralph Hudson Reeve

Ralph Hudson Reeve makes his cameras out of paper! Just the thought that the actual paper could then become the camera and vis versa is kinda mind boggling. While his imagery wouldn't be up to Libby's conceptual standard, just the fact that he gets wonderful light leaks and is able to manipulate the paper to be used anywhere at anytime as a camera is wonderful. The idea of making camera and paper and final image as one is great. You can only have that camera once and then it turns into simply a piece of paper until it is developed and then it is your final image that could never be recreated with the same camera because the original camera will never exist again! Whew! Just wonderful.
