I'm thinking of applying for a fellowship of which I would research camera making and its role in the education of photography. Maybe you guys can help me out by answering a few questions that will help me jump into the subject so I can see if my proposal would be worth while.
What are the names of famous photographers who made their own cameras and used them on a somewhat daily basis? I know Ansel Adams made a camera/enlarger. What book has information on this? Do you know of any photography institutions who teach camera making in their curriculum besides pinholes? Do you think that students are missing out by not building their own cameras? Additional comments would be helpful. The end product would hopefully demonstrate the need for institutions to teach the subject matter and to present a design of a simple monorail camera that anyone can make, use, and learn basic LF principles.
