TOKYO, JAPAN, July – August 2008. In Tokyo, Japan, there is a camera club devoted to making and using unusual cameras. Editor Bob Lansdale has been in contact with Sam Mabuchi of the Japan Hand Made Camera Club which held an exhibit this past summer of the cameras and photographs created by the JHMCC members.
