So overall, and after sleeping and expressing my ideas to family, I think I would like to go with my rounded design. I feel that this touches on the universal idea I was thinking, and mimics both a lens and shutter curtain. I also think that the roundness throws off any one who uses it because they wouldn't be expecting a camera to be on the inside, and then the lid and rounded shape will make sense. I also think it will keep the camera safe inside with the divot that will hold it in place. Now it's time to work in the big bad wood shop…. if I lose a finger, I just hope it isn't a pointer. I don't want to be a photographer that has to flip everyone off in order to take a snap shot. Below are my first cuts of wood…ever.
you might think about how the camera relates to an eye. Maybe make the box not quite so round, more elliptical shape; this would be easier to cut. You can read ahead in the next project--Photo Collage. There's an interesting reading called Photography Changes Everything. It might give you some ideas.
