I think he moved to France. He brought that camera in one day but I never got a good look at it. I'd love to make one like the one that he had - the photos that I saw were great! If I remember correctly it was basically the same as a foamcore pinhole camera except that it had a paper lens turret that was adjustable for different focal lengths. I've looked for instructions on making something simple(?) like that but I haven't found them. I've checked amazon every so often for alan's book - I'm going to go buy it now that I know it's out.
