A tiny Univex model AF-2 folding camera with a much bigger Kodak Model A-3 Autographic. The Univex was introduced in 1935 and uses #00 film. It originally sold for $1.50. The Kodak was made from 1916 to 1937 and was the first rangefinder camera. It used A122 film that allowed notes to be made with a stylus directly on the film.
I thought Bo Dudas would like this one.
Designed and folded by me.

See the underbelly in the other post.
I originally wanted to fold something else, but got stuck in a "folder's block" on that other design, so I decided to try something else, and so this design evolved after I started making the dorsal fin and worked my way outwards.
As I was designing this, I was reminded of the iconic view of a pleco attaching itself to the aquarium glass, revealing its suction-like mouth and underbelly, and so I pulled out some layers of paper and filled in the belly and formed the mouth. Isn't as complete as I would like it but it's better than nothing.
I haven't formally sketched out the CP but it looks deceptively simple I think. The shaping took a while to get right.

Some news
Nightlight has been selected for inclusion as part of the Cologne OFF One Minute Film Festival and (as one of three of my films selected) for an upcoming season on Outcasting.
A short photo series project at Getty Museum focused on people appreciating art. Focus on how our body reacts to art. Do we even realize we arch back, front, or on sides, or fold hands, or cross legs and dissolve in the space with art!
Hope you appreciate the mood and the warmth we all feel around great pieces of art!

It is believed that ancient yogis would practice this pose facing the sunrise and Paschimottanasana (PAH-shee-moh-tun-AHS-uh-nuh) - now that's a mouthful, huh? - and it would deeply stretch their legs and entire back, or “west,” side of their bodies as they folded forward toward the sun. It is a calming yoga pose that helps to relieve stress and one that I try to practice often as it helps with back pain.
Thanks for your thoughts on my previous post. It looks like the majority of us are much too connected to be without our technology for long. I am going to test myself though... maybe just before the autumn equinox, to really savor those last days of summer.

I'm too slowly xD I have folded these two from water color paper. The left one first (14 minutes) and the right one second (12 minutes) But the paper is too dry at the end so I have problems with the caudal fin curves. I need a water spray instead of my sponge I think... And the creases on the head are annoying :o
Just something of a conceptual piece. I took the image of these trees coming out of the fog more 4 years ago. I was inspired by one of my amazing friends drkwyst , and his gorgeous "folded paper" technique. He as several with this idea going on and it is worth the look through his stream to check those and other pieces.
I also had this marvelous texture image I came across sometime back of the side of a train...Polish I think it was....which had these makings, and I've never been able to figure out a way to use it until now. Well I had some time to kill before the feasting began (Thanksgiving for the non- American crowd)....so put this together. And no....I don't know what the markings stand for. I did try and find out but.....to no avail.
Have a good one.
Some of my old folding experiments.
See a video of them in action here
I think the first one is what people call a waterbomb tesselation.
Number 3 and 6 I think are usually associated with Ron Resch.
I dont know if 2, 4 and 5 have been documented before.
Number 2 has a surprising very slight single curvature when fully folded, which is associated with the near packing of tetrahedra I wrote about here:

A crevasse-like atrium runs through the centre of the building, providing natural light and pedestrian access via a series of stairs and escalators.
Designed by architect Denton Corker Marshall, this 14-level building houses 500 staff and 4,300 students and has a 5-Star Green Star Rating.

Although not airworthy, an otherwise fully functional Buccaneer exercises it's wing fold mechanism during a night shoot at Bruntingthorpe aerodrome. Earlier in the evening enthusiasts were treated to some high power engine runs.
It folds up into a 13x13x6 space.
This is one of the ways to fulfill the space requirements of the Small Starfighter Building Contest.
At Pink Pocket, there are striking examples of folds, flakes and fins in the Navajo sandstone. This stratum folds one way, then the other. See more of this area in the Steamboat Rock and Pink Pocket album.
I played around today and made several folded nib pens. I used the thin aluminum from a small juice can. I folded a piece over and cut a curve to make a tip and another shorter curve at the bottom where it attaches to the handle. I used a piece of cattail reed as a handle. I used Gorilla tape to to hold the nib onto the handle and another small piece to squeeze the two halves of the metal together. This makes a wonderful drawing tool. It is capable of producing very broad, very thin, and everything in between line widths. Using the tip makes very thin lines. The further down the curve you use, the thicker the line. Here is a fast tree sketch to demonstrate the variety of line. The ink I used is water soluble. I dipped the nib in water to get the gray marks.
A few 605s to be seen, but not a vast amount. It's good to get photos of a typical example, and this one with the 1970s-looking caravan was ideal.
At the time I just thought it was a particularly boxy caravan, but it wasn't until Kevin uploaded shots of a similar model that I realised it was a folding model.

I am convinced, more than ever, that the human eye tends to prefer horizontal or square formats to vertical.
Anyone want to challenge me on that? :)
Anyone have any theories they would like to share...?

My streak of fish origami models continue. Despite the references of the model being easy to figure out, this one is fairly lengthy in terms of precreasing, which is unusual for most of my models.
I don't know why but when I take pictures, the subject always ends up looking rather chubby. But at least it's somewhat recognizable.
