Weegee camera variation #3

atelier ying, nyc

 

This pinhole speed graphic-styled camera bar is in the style of portable traveling bars. The shutter button is actually just a latch for the rear door, one press and the bar is open for business. The entire interior that you can see here is lined with a plush red velvet. The middle compartment has a richly stained maple door and houses the pinhole assembly which can be removed, thereby not making it function as a camera. It can then have an ice bucket installed temporarily for when the bar has a lot of customers. I was also particularly reminded of 1960's nightclub decor in Hong Kong as well as the Taiwanese Chinese movies of the period, a very nostalgic setting indeed!

 

The bat is a symbol for prosperity by the way.

 

Courvosier Brandy being served. Also my very favorite liqueur, Drambuie.

Cigar is a pyramides shape, maybe a nice Fuentes!
