Cameras: a different perspective

Usually cameras are a mode for producing art by being a photographer's right hand and capturing images... but in these cases, the camera has become the art as it remains the center each artist's attention.

I love the way each one has "captured" the camera in their own personal style just as many photographers might use a camera to capture the same thing all in their own way.
