In an age where we would go to any lengths to get a unique photo, two artists, thirsty for something new, have created a camera that offers peak uniqueness. 。

"The light viewed/collected by each individual tube is recorded onto the photo sensitive material placed at the opposite end." 。
The photos that the camera produces are both thought-provoking and stunning. It's hard to believe that this is what we would see if we looked through thousands of straws. 。

While Farrell and Haynes first tested the Straw Camera on inanimate objects, their ultimate goal was to capture portraits. 。
"The sitter would have to wait in the dark whilst the camera was loaded," Haynes explained of the process. "They were then asked to take a pose and given a countdown to the firing of the flash." 。Credit: michael farrell & Cliff Haynes 。
"The Straw Cameras gave us a 'net' to catch light with, and a novel view of the world to play with. The portraits depict the sitters at a resolution that is almost on a par with early television pictures," Cliff Haynes wrote. 。
"In a world beset by selfies with their immediate gratification, and HD television in all its glory feeding our visual appetite, a Straw Camera image of an individual, with its engineering projection and disappearance of the subject into the near fog of visual capture, gives the viewer a glimpse of just how transitory perception is."。
