It’s so cozy following along with the Poetry Camera team and seeing their prototype iterations. If you haven’t heard of it before, imagine a Polaroid camera—but instead of an instant photo, you get an instant poem describing the scene. Makes me want to build one for myself.

But, I do wish they’d designed it with smaller, locally run models. Feels like that could have worked for a project like this.

Three people are posing for a group shot with a prototype camera. The camera is white and red, with a clearly 3D-printed shell, and a small piece of paper sticking out from the front.
