Cary Norton made a camera out of Lego back in 2009, but we never saw the results. He now has published a few photos and I’m as surprised as he is. They are spectacular:

Fast forward something like a year, and I finally carved out time to restructure everything to fit the back and actually finish the super-low-budget “ground glass”. This weekend marked the first time all the pieces came together! I took 4 frames on Sunday, two Monday, and processed them later that day. I got to scan them this morning and I am COMPLETELY FREAKING STOKED.

I’m stoked too. Beautiful stuff. [Cary Norton via Kottke]
