The box for the Kombi was described by Kemper as a "cloth covered carrying case", which is accurate, and does sound better than "box". The camera fits only one way, as the inside has a slot cut in one side to fit the shutter actuator.
Something I have wanted to try making for ages! Pleased with the results, although I will cut out the inside of the cake next time, rather than building it up as I did here. It makes the sides too bumpy.
More boxes made from recycled wool sweaters. The brown, blue and orange fabric is a vintage print. Glass beads accent the corners where they've been nipped and tucked. See my profile for more info.

Requiem For A Red Box group
This group has been created to preserve the "Red Box". The group title and this mosaic title are taken from the John Timpson's book "Requiem For A Red Box":
Quote from the dust cover of the book: In 1985 British Telecom decided in their wisdom that these boxes were too costly to maintain in the face of decay and vandalism, and they began to remove them and replace them with an assortment of booths and canopies. There was an uproar.
Red Telephone Box (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia)
The red telephone box, a public telephone kiosk designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, was a once familiar sight on the streets of the United Kingdom. It has all but disappeared in recent years, replaced by a number of different designs. The few kiosks that remain have not been replaced because they are regarded as being of special architectural and historical interest.
The first standard public telephone kiosk introduced by the United Kingdom Post Office was produced by Somerville & Company in 1920 and was designated K1 (Kiosk no. 1). This design was not of the same family as the familiar red telephone boxes.
The red telephone box was the result of a competition in 1924 to design a new grander kiosk. The competition attracted designs from a number of noted architects. The Fine Arts Commission judged the competition and selected the design submitted by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott as the winner. The Post Office made a request that the material used for the design be changed from mild steel to cast iron, and that a slight modification be made to the door; after these changes, the design was designated K2. The kiosks were painted red was so that they might be easily recognised from a distance by a person in an emergency. In some rural areas the boxes were painted green so as not to disrupt the natural beauty of the surroundings.
From 1927 K2 was mainly deployed in and around London. K3 designed in 1930, again by Gilbert Scott was similar to K2 but was constructed from concrete and intended for rural areas. K4 (designed by the Post Office Engineering Department and proposed in 1923) incorporated a machine for buying postage stamps on the exterior. Only 50 kiosks of this design were built. K5 was a plywood construction introduced in 1934 and designed to be assembled and dismantled and used at exhibitions.
In 1935 K6 was designed to commemorate the silver jubilee of King George V. K6 was the first standard telephone kiosk to be used throughout the country. Many thousands of K6 boxes were deployed in virtually every town and city and it became a British icon. K6 telephone boxes eventually began to be replaced in large numbers in the early 1990s Thousands of old K6 kiosks were sold off at public auction. Some kiosks have been converted to be to used as shower cubicles in private homes. In Kingston upon Thames a number of old K6 boxes have been utilised to form a work of art resembling a row of fallen dominoes.
In 1959 architect Neville Conder was commissioned to design a new box. The K7 design went no further than the prototype stage. K8 introduced in 1968 was designed by Douglas Scott and Bruce Martin. It was the first box to replace K6 in significant numbers, and the last design be painted predominantly red.
Upon the privatisation of Post Office Telephone's successor, British Telecom (BT), the KX100, a more utilitarian design, replaced almost all the red boxes; a few remain, mainly in rural areas. The KX100 PLUS, introduced in 1996 featured a domed roof reminiscent of the familiar K2 and K6. Subsequent designs have departed significantly from the old style red telephone boxes.
In response to BT's plans to replace red boxes with more modern designs, several of the former have been listed.
The 30 lever Saxby & Farmer (1874 Patent) 'Rocker' frame of 30 levers in Ancaster box would appear to have been second-hand as the frame dates from 1887, but the box itself opened on 1st December 1873.
Can anyone explain why some of the levers have only been painted white halfway down. Are they no longer in-use but have been kept to maintain the locking in the frame?
little box with lit.
I decided to make something completely different, so this little box
( or whatever you want to name it) was born. It was so much fun to make it ,so I made three other boxes as well.
The box measures about 6 /7 cm. diameter and is for 100% made of polymerclay.
Fabriqué par Voigtlander en Allemagne en 1939, ce fut le seul box de cette marque.Il utilise du film 120.
not very original.. but it's a little something I've never tried before. ;)
p.s. I really am INSIDE the box.. NO ps whatsoever !

This is a practice shot for this weeks SSC challenge - looking down. Two old storage boxes from a charity shop and some of the semi-precious stones collected from the floor of the Scratch Patch in Cape Town many years ago.
welcome to my neighborhood! this photo was taken just a couple blocks from where i live. as can be seen peeking out from behind the road construction chaos, we have a fab old movie palace here :-)
this venue, the music box theater, was designed by louis simon and opened in 1929. it's interior has been beautifully restored, and it is a popular place to see indie and foreign films.
I love to transform ordinary things into something special. I covered plain match boxes with vintage style prints, shabby pink roses and a pinch of glitter. I make these in many different themes and they sell like hot cakes in my shops.

Modified to two dollar bills from two squares.
I prefer to match the original model as close as possible, but in this case I was short on paper and had to make a few adjustments. I still like the final result, resembles a candy and still holds together with a minimum amount of folds. This is a simple and easy box to make. I raised the lid 1/8" for easy opening.
Main Street Christmas Tree, viewed from the south.
I visited Disneyland Resort for a few hours today. It was very warm, and DLR was moderately crowded. I got four more boxes of the Season's Greetings 2015 Snowflake Mystery Pin collection, and got two new pins but six duplicates, which I will offer for sale in a separate post. There were many new ornaments and other merchandise, including ones for Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion. There was a new line of small plush Princess dolls. So far they have released Anna, Elsa and Ariel, and I got one of each. There were no more Diamond Celebration LE Aurora dolls to be found, so it looks like they are finally sold out. They lasted about 4 1/2 months, a surprisingly long time (it was LE 3000). It's too bad that Disney Store LE Princess dolls can't last as long.
On Main Street they had the big Christmas tree up, and of course various Winter Holiday decorations and merchandise throughout Disneyland. I was happy to see a brand new Frozen window display in the Emporium. As with the other new window displays, there were two scenes that rotated in and out of view. One had Snow Queen Elsa and Olaf on North Mountain. The other had Anna and Kristoff in their winter gear in front of Arendelle Castle, with Anna holding carrots behind her back for Sven. They were extremely well done, and looked like larger versions of the upcoming painted maquettes from Enesco/Walt Disney Archives. Elsa and Olaf rotated in place, but Anna and Kristoff were static. I also took photos of the Toy Story window display, which has been up for several months.
I got the #1 high score of the day on Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. I ate lunch and then left the Park while the Disneyland Christmas Parade was winding down Main Street.
First build of boxes ten years ago... now, more room for weapons and other stuffs ;)
You can download the Introduction for both Cargo-Boxes: left one here, and right one here.
One of my favourite cameras from my collection.
I set up a little "product" shoot; which was great fun :)
I took a few minutes and a short walk to capture photos here. To my surprise the small canyon abruptly ended. What had been a sandy wash or ravine was now a vertical wall- dead end. The entire walk was maybe 200 feet (60 m). The trail made a sharp curve which hid the nature of the short canyon.

This is a treasure box that my best friend from grade school got me many, many years ago when she and her family went to Germany. I used to keep my hairpins in it, now I keep my smashed pennies inside. Still my treasure box after all these years...
The new Dongfeng Box is one of the cheapest electric cars in the Netherlands. For the first time Dongfeng is selling cars here under its own brand name. The Box will be competing with the Dacia Spring and the new Citroën ë-C3.
